Game dev community pushes back on Tim Sweeney hate, claims 95% of developers already use AI
mark_k · x · 2026-10-24
Blogger muselk defends Epic CEO Tim Sweeney against ongoing backlash: Sweeney fought Apple-style 30% platform fees, Epic's store takes a far smaller cut and gives away free AAA games monthly, and his forest purchases go to nature reserves — nothing 'evil' there.
On AI, the author argues Sweeney is right that it's not 2016 anymore. Roughly 95% of game developers are already using AI in their workflows (not one-shot vibe coding), but stay silent for fear of anti-AI backlash — which is why only the opposition shows up in comments.
