“Reputational harm” is a very real thing with gamers right now. When a game is discovered to be using GenAI, it’s roasted online and players deem it “slop” and sometimes will even say they’ll boycott a game because of it.
I cannot think of a group less likely to stick to a boycott than gamers.
Edit: I hate to describe myself as such, but I am a gamer. Have chuckled many times at the vocal outcry of gaming communities only to watch them crumble the second a new hat is offered.

Ai art has little to no value. So ai art is really just filler. Might be useful for posters on a wall or low budget titles but nobody wants to play in an ai generated game.
