"That is Egregious": Players Have Already Found What's Believed to be AI

Key Points:
- Crimson Desert launched after multiple delays, selling 2 million copies but receiving mixed reviews, with a Metacritic score of 78 and Steam user reviews shifting from 'Mixed' to 'Mostly Positive.'
- The game has faced criticism for adding Denuvo DRM shortly before release and for including suspected AI-generated artwork, particularly historical paintings that appear distorted and inconsistent.
- Players discovered and shared these questionable assets on Reddit, leading to backlash against developer Pearl Abyss for not disclosing the use of AI-generated content on the game's Steam page, despite Valve's 2024 policy requiring such transparency.
- The controversy highlights ongoing debates about the use of AI tools in game development, with many developers supporting disclosure but disagreeing on Valve's current implementation.
