The creator of one of the most popular Total War: Warhammer III mods ever has deliberately corrupted it so that it will no longer work with “unauthorized reuploads,” amid a row over the rights and wrongs of AI-generated modifications.

    It does effect him when they use shit AI and fuck it up- as people will blame him because his fucking name is all over it.

    I’ll tell you what, give me some shit you created. Just, let me have it do so with whatever I please. And I promise if it’s bad, it’ll point directly to you.

    That sound cool?

      in all honesty: this is an error reporting problem.

      way too many games with modding support have piss-poor error reporting that makes it insanely difficult for inexperienced users to figure out what exactly went wrong, so they blame the first mod that the log shows…which is usually some framework or other large mod, since those, by their very nature, come up a LOT in the logs.

      this exact problem is decades old and has fuckall to do with AI, and everything to do with devs of (officially) moddable games not providing proper troubleshooting methods to their userbase.
