Former Director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Says Generative AI Is Widely Used in Game Development, Sparking Controversy (translated)
Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.
Daniel Vávra, former director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, said that game developers now widely use generative AI, suggesting that some people are simply afraid of being criticized and therefore unwilling to discuss it openly. His statement is currently a personal opinion, and the available description provides no industry survey sufficient to verify the claim of “widespread use,” so it cannot be treated directly as a picture of the industry as a whole. The real question left by the debate is whether development teams should disclose the extent of their AI use, and whether players can adequately judge how a work was made when that information is unavailable.

Sakigarasu's Take
What truly matters to players in this debate is which kinds of labour behind a work are made visible and which responsibilities are blurred—not simply whether people support or oppose a tool. Players can accept the efficiency and new possibilities that AI assistance may bring while still asking developers to explain how extensively it was used; otherwise, they lack information necessary to decide whether to buy the work.
