No idea on AI but I was against the publisher already. They’re past the point of venture capital, but years ago they already had an IPO worth millions and were still doing crowd-funding+EA+multi-account unpaid self-promotion.

There’s also the Hello Neighbor situation, and a decent amount of their other games on Steam have mixed reviews.

For AI, I did stumble across this:

At least one video game company has considered using large-language model AI to spy on its developers. The CEO of TinyBuild, which publishes Hello Neighbor 2 and Tinykin, discussed it during a recent talk at this month’s Develop:Brighton conference, explaining how ChatGPT could be used to try and monitor employees who are toxic, at risk of burning out, or simply talking about themselves too much.

That’s a hypothetical, but might tell on some mindset.
