Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."
I’ve been using Epic for years, and my library is hundreds of games at this point. I have not given them one single dime and I never will. Like you said, all the good will in the world can’t make up for being a dog shit company.
This is the way, I like the cut of your jib.
I'd sooner pirate the games than use epic
At least if Epic gives you the game for free, the dev gets paid. If you pirate the game, the dev doesn’t get anything.
