Crimson Desert Sparks AI-Art Controversy Over Alleged Generative Imagery
TL;DR
Crimson Desert sold 2 million units within a day of release, but players are raising a controversy over possible AI-generated environmental art. Screenshots circulating on Reddit and Bluesky show AI-like details—e.g., inconsistent fingers and linocut patterns—while the Steam page lacks any AI-disclosure. This echoes a past incident and raises questions about Valve's guidelines. Pearl Abyss has not yet commented.
