The developer behind Hardest, a card battler roguelike with a rock-paper-scissors twist, has committed to removing the game from Steam, citing concerns over AI. The latest update post bluntly states that AI is bad and that the game will be deleted on January 30. It goes further, emphasizing twice that AI is evil as the justification for pulling the title. Hardest had garnered attention not for its gameplay but because it incorporated AI-generated assets—a contentious choice that seems to have backfired on the creator. With the self-destruct date set, it looks like this experimental Steam release will soon be a relic, as the developer makes a clear stand against the technology that helped build the game.
