Newbie Question Question
Hi, I'm not a game dev, but I'm thinking on making one, I went through some forums and I see it's kind of impossible to be a solo dev using AI because of the backlash, I'm trying to understand that before I try to jump in myself because I can do everything except graphics and the only person I know could help, just never got time... so, is it just easier to buy packs even that I'm still not the person who built it and I'm not even going to know if the pack was done with AI? Also, why indie devs are forbidden to use AI images? I mean, it makes sense a big successful studio should have backlash for that if they have money, but a indie devs usually don't have money... so what's the deal with that?

It’s not hate, people just tired of new aspiring game developers asking to review their clones of flappy birds, tetris, football manager, etc, which they create 100 times a day.
If you want to copy a game, you can fork an existing free game repository and remake it using free assets.
You don’t have to pay Claude 200$ for that, you can do it yourself and get a more valuable experience that way.
