And all the heinous shit they default assume trans people will do? They must have watched too much Face/Off as kid because no one's going through that much effort just to commit a crime.
Transphobes are deeply unserious people.

You would literally be sacrificing a well written, professionally acted, curated experience for a shiny new toy you'd play with once and get bored of. Or more likely get really pissed off about.
You don't want GenAI NPCs.

And another thing! Say goodbye to memorable characters. Do you know your favourite character from whatever game you like is memorable? Because they were WRITTEN to be that way. ACTED that way. You'd never get that from the word soup blender that is Cannibalism Machine.

Currently and for decades at this point, the NPCs that are important are really easy to find. They're usually the ones that can be interacted with or have dialogue options. If EVERYONE has dialogue options, good luck figuring who has sidequests or story missions with dunking them in yellow paint.

"But we could make them talk about events that happen in game!"
Firstly, chances of Joe Bloggs or a simple farmer knowing the geopolitical goings on in realtime beyond basic details is low.
Secondly, do you know how screwed progression would get if *EVERY* NPC knew everything happening in lore?

Three that really stuck out to me;
Dead As Disco - a hype as hell rhythm beat 'em up with a banger OST.
Grapple Car - a time trial driving game all about speed and using a grappling hook to launch round the track.
Jetrunners - Another speed game, test your skills and the character banter is solid.

There is something fundementally fucked up when we look at a barely functional, creatively devoid and mechanically empty asset flip game and think "damn, well at least they actually tried kind of".

The problem with the source code argument is that it is entirely possible to reverse engineer retail copies. It's literally what Bluepoint does. The problem is that takes time and money and they don't really want to do that.

thumbnail using art by @kunstgebilde.bsky.social immortalising the momentous occasion.
Also, something for Tagg because he deserves something nice. Unfortunately, all we have is cars through his front door.

It's the curse of the inexorable push to realistic graphics. Visual clarity become somewhat of an afterthought. Hence the yellow paint over the signposting tools that worked perfectly fine in the past.

I found the animation this morning and I though "Perfect! Needs some bunnies though..."
Glad you liked it!
