After Crimson Desert attracted some heat for generative AI being part of the development process, developer Pearl Abyss provided a statement clarifying the usage and apologizing. Mike Ybarra, a former executive at Microsoft and Blizzard, disagrees with the notion that this was necessary, and had made his views very clear on Twitter.
"Why apologize? AI, in one form or another, will be in every single video game," Ybarra, previously president of Blizzard and corporate vice president of Xbox Live, said in response to Pearl Abyss.
