Brandon Stirrup, a 10+ year Xbox/Microsoft veteran, publicly called out gaming as "the only industry pretending to not use AI", claiming games can already be made with simple prompts, including player-customized ones. He said he might be fired for telling the truth; his account was subsequently deleted. Epic's Tim Sweeney faced similar backlash before.
