Streamer RockLeeSmile publicly blasted indie studio househouse for knowingly lying about AI disclosure for months, saying he streamed the game unknowingly despite his no-AI coverage policy and that their credibility is now zero.
almmaasoglu quotes the thread to highlight a double standard: AAA studios use AI freely while indie devs get dragged for fixing a bug with it — and the indie scene's own performative "AI bad" stance now holds it to a higher standard than billion-dollar companies.
