Tim Bender, the CEO of Hooded Horse, isn’t holding back when it comes to generative AI art. The studio behind Manor Lords is drawing a firm line: if they’re publishing a game, it won’t include any AI-generated assets. Bender describes the technology as “cancerous,” making it clear that Hooded Horse wants nothing to do with the growing trend of AI-created content. His blunt stance highlights the ongoing tension in the industry over automation and creative control, especially as more developers wrestle with what role AI should play in game development and artistry. Hooded Horse’s position sends a clear message that for some, traditional craftsmanship remains non-negotiable.
