I fail to see how this isn’t a good thing?

Yes the AI usage was known about previously, yes, the game probably doesn’t really count as being an indie game, yes game awards are all genuinely terrible, but you have to take what you can get. A small victory is a still a victory.

I upvote a lot, but I don’t always comment as much as I should. I often find that I may or may not have anything particularly new to add to the comments.

Yet another reason to despise AI. Animals deserve to be safe too. We’ve already taken so much from them as it is.
