     “Reputational harm” is a very real thing with gamers right now. When a game is discovered to be using GenAI, it’s roasted online and players deem it “slop” and sometimes will even say they’ll boycott a game because of it.
  

  I cannot think of a group less likely to stick to a boycott than gamers.

  Edit: I hate to describe myself as such, but I am a gamer. Have chuckled many times at the vocal outcry of gaming communities only to watch them crumble the second a new hat is offered.
