Meh - sounds like they saved some money by not going heavy into custom assets.
Seems like for a first pass at an indie game you should use asset packs and/or Gen AI. If the game has legs - you make another pass with a bigger investment into it.
Obviously if you enjoy the asset/model/whatever aspect then delve deeper into it.
I need some piece of LLM generated code to make it into some critical TCP library that’s used for the internet everywhere.
Maybe then I can get some peace from the individuals that cry when a company mentions they used LLMs.
Aside: This looks like a proper use of LLMs - we’re not displacing artists with something trained on stolen art. Maybe it impacts some interns that needed to create PowerPoints.
Edit: Fine. I’m wrong. Vote with your wallet and don’t buy the game.
Linux preinstalled is going to remove a lot of candidates. If you relax your requirements to include known setups/components that work well with Linux then that would help expand your options. The amount that Microsoft gets from the preinstalled license is likely negligible.
