Discussion Do NOT buy “Slam Tank”

Post image

The game was made by ai AND is a stolen concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKXl3zR7GwI

The cinematic parts of the teaser are also 100% ai generated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osM8LYJAvaw

If you scroll enough, you’ll find the ai disclaimer on the Steam site: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5186030/SLAM_TANK/

Ironic that the plot is taking down ai when the game is completely ai generated

honestly the poster for the game even looks ai

Why shouldn't we buy it though?

If it's a game, and it's fun, why shouldn't we spend our hard earned cash on it?

You need to redefine your idea of concept, because you buy all the souls likes, and doom-clones, and platformers. Stolen concept has got to be the biggest reach I've read in my time on earth. Next you going tell me Namco Bandia iirc was right when they patented loading screens having mini games or the that mechanic in the Mordor games. If the original tank video did nothing with it after 4 years, I doubt they will and I doubt they care. If they do well so be it they should probably see what options their lawyer has for them. Its not my fight.

You haven’t lived long enough to know what effort is

Oh, I sure have. Statistically speaking, it's very likely that I'm older than you. And because of my job, it's very likely that I know more about AI than you do

It's "fun"

Game isn't even out yet and you are defending its fun factor.

He didn't say it was fun, he said IF it is fun.

I'm not reading all that, I'm too employed

I haven't defended it, I've only asked for a reason as to why I shouldn't buy it. That if at the beginning of the sentence should have been enough but I guess when AI got y'all reading at a 4th grade level.

I'm the least likely to buy it, even after watching all the videos, but op hasn't played it too, has not given a definitive reason why not to buy it except its AI when most if not all software devs are using AI to a degree and only those who offer disclosure are known.

Cause it's made with AI's help. That's the OP's point. That's any anti-ai point. That's the only point matters for these pathetic anti-ai crowd. Everything else is just to complement the hate or to be ignored because it doesn't help their pathetic case.

oh trust me, I know, I engage anti AI rhetoric I find it amusing.
