For me, this specific issue is more of a personal level, it’s not about me waging a war against slopgenerators, it’s about trust. Trust is gradually built item by item. My trust in a company consists of their actions over time. They make a good game - trust goes up. They commit to provide good working conditions to the workers and actually do that - trust goes up again. Them starting using slopgen reduces that trust. It reduces it enough so I don’t trust what they are saying anymore. It’s not that I’m starting war on them or whatever, but they lost enough of my trust so when they just say something, I don’t believe it outright, the way I do with any other company, because for a company the line going up is way more important that anything else, and honouring words demonstrably doesn’t put the line up. Before this shit, my trust in Larian was high enough so I might believe them publicly declaring something, but as it stands right now, I don’t anymore, and that’s kind of the extend of my approach to it.
All the previous games of theirs I preordered, early accessed, bought the second the buying option was available. This one I wouldn’t.
