Indie Developers Reject Generative AI in Games

At the GDC Festival of Gaming this year, indie developers and publishers largely rejected generative AI in game creation, despite vendor demos from companies like Tencent and Razer. A GDC survey found 52% of respondents now view generative AI as having a negative industry impact, up from 30% in 2025 and 18% in 2024. Developers cited craft, legal concerns, and player disconnect as reasons to avoid AI.
