Space Marine 2 Maker Saber Interactive Confirms It Will an Add AI Label to Rideshare Stimulator on Steam Following Controversy
The boss of Rideshare Stimulator publisher Saber Interactive has confirmed that an AI label will be added to the game's Steam page, following public criticism.
Saber Interactive's CEO, Matthew Karch, announced that an AI label will be added to their game, Rideshare Stimulator, on Steam due to public backlash. In an interview with IGN, Karch explained that the company had added an experimental AI mode to the game to explore these concepts, but admitted that it was not the core experience.
He emphasized that the decision to incorporate AI features was a significant cost and that it created more work for two writers and multiple coders. Karch expressed openness to discussing how AI could improve gaming experiences and denied any intention to replace his team with AI tools. The controversy surrounding the removal of former writer Stella Sacco, who claimed she was replaced by ChatGPT, led to numerous complaints on the Steam forum for Rideshare Stimulator.
Karch defended his decision, stating that his PR team was uncomfortable discussing AI but would be happy to engage in a reasonable conversation about its potential benefits.
