Epic say that sales are up. Everyone else says they’re down…hmmm.
I suspect what’s actually happening is that sales are down for most legitimate artists/devs, but that sales of the AI-Generated nonsense is making up the difference. The market is absolutely flooded with literally thousands of listings for crappy AI-Generated art, and they’re being reviewed by an AI model.
Epic would see it as a net win, but what’s actually happening is that the market is “the dead internet”. Fake assets sold by fake artists, being reviewed and approved by fake staff.
good grief, out of touch managers ad executives thinking AI is the answer to every problem
