Slight aside, I just noticed "Users browsing this forum: Amazon [Bot]" at the bottom. I expect to and do see things like "Bing [Bot}" there from time to time to index the forum for search engine use, but Amazon doesn't do search, so it must be feeding their gen-AI our posts. EDI...

Yeah this GenAI infection is running deep. It's time premium subscriptions start getting canceled. A tad dramatic. Rules summary has little to no impact on the game or who you are playing against. If even that insults you you can just leave, you don't have to announce it on every AI post By the sam...

Looks like a bot called "Thomas" created it, and a pile of others in March, and a few more in July. Embarrassingly, the most recent "help" doc creation states outright that the bot didn't even read the rule book. It just guessed at rules based on online play. Seriously. This is g...

Thank you for all your sincere feedback. I can see a lot of passion, and it’s great to see how much everyone cares about the future of the site. Finding the right balance for the future of BGA is tough. There are no magic solutions, I wish there were, and no decision has been made yet but when we d...

We pay for subscriptions here, I don't enjoy seeing crappy AI spam across the front page of the website. Plenty of good games to find and adapt that aren't regurgitated junk like this. To clarify the process: the images were created by Guillaume Alarie, the game's author. He trained his own AI mode...

Hey, I was just wondering if the game utilizes AI art because to me, it immediately from first glance looked like it does. Personally, I don't support the use of AI because it takes away (or even steals) work from actual graphics designers and artists. Thanks for raising this — it's a fair question...

Obviously AI. Not going to waste any time playing this one.

In this case, I'm more inclined to go with "confirmation bias".

I am aware of that. But deals are much easier when both parties are effectively in the same house. That is what I was trying to get at in saying that licensing shouldn't be a problem -- And many other Z-Man published games are on BGA as well. To me, this is more likely going to be a copyright proble...

My best guess? Contract with Alderac ran out and now they have to make a deal with Z-Man Games for a new license I think you are on the right track, personally. But since Asmodee owns both Z-Man Games and BGA, licensing the game itself shouldn't be a problem. My guess would be that the issue is tha...
