If you're not giving them money and you're not giving them the free advertising, no, there's literally no ethical issue with engaging morally compromised or problematic media. The "giving money to people committing moral trespasses" thing is literally the entire balance of the equation.

Ive come to the conclusion that if all they did was experiment with GenAI in 2022 even none of us really knew in detail how it worked, then stopped after that, I can forgive them. But they better not do it again.

At one point one just has to move on god damn. Like you may as well complain about being able to google the game and look at images of it.

I didn't buy this when people said this on Twitter and I don't buy it here.
"Pirating it is still supporting it" is clown world shit. You literally aren't giving them money. Fucking who cares.

I don't care if you pirate it instead of buying it, you are still giving them attention. You are still giving them praise. "This media is too good. You should play it regardless of the awful shit," is still excusing their behavior and actively leads into defending it and allowing it in other spaces.

The biggest issue with the topic is that E33 is absolutely by nearly any metric the best game that came out in 2025.

Talked so much about this lately I'm pretty done with the topic for now, I feel like I've said all I can say. I believe I summed my thoughts up on best on stream the other day that if E33 shot and killed someone to print the discs from their bones I'd tell you to pirate it. It's just that good.
What's your feeling on E33 in general at this point? Do you feel reticent about glazing it more at this point?

As you mentioned Pat this situation with E33 feels especially vindictive given we knew about the AI use months ago. It also feels like the game and studio is just kind of being used as an example since it won awards to pushback on GenAI more, but it feels like the gun is pointed at the wrong people.

It doesn't help that the level of knowledge of GenAI is so bad, that people get mad when the term AI is used even when it's not even related to GenAI as if AI hasn't existed before 2022.

I personally dislike GenAI and hate all of the aspects of it that are destroying both the planet and multiple industries.
but this level of general hate towards anything that even touches it for minute reasons is going to reach the point that even the most harmless uses is gonna snowball bad

As much as I agree with this it's pretty ridiculous that this thing that was known to some degree back in April is only coming back up now because the game won all those awards. If Polygon (or whomever) who had the access really cared they would have asked them then.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive is finding itself in hot water over its use of AI generated assets in developing the game.

kinda related tho i do think devaluing their older work is actually incredibly shitty and disrespectful to the actual level headed people who worked on them before the whole shift to AI bullshit but maybe that's just me being overly sympathetic

Even a company like Square Enix (still weird with AI as seen with the QA stuff) had to make a point of saying “we won’t use this creatively at all” after Foamstars. It’s important to see if devs learn their lessons after such AI dabbling. Time will tell how it goes for Sandfall

It’s important to draw a line in the sand with regard to AI. No matter how loved or acclaimed a studio is, using AI creatively should be pushed back on. Especially since Sandfall failed to disclose the placeholder to the Indie Game Awards. This is a learning experience for them & all devs.

If Sandfall’s story of the AI placeholder is true (that it was a 2022 placeholder made as an experiment with AI & they didn’t use it anywhere else) I can let them off with a warning and hope they don’t use it again. That being said, I think this is the right move to make.
