After a public scrap between CEO and former writer, Saber Interactive finally adds AI disclaimer to Steam page and doubles down: 'AI can and should help shape gamer experiences'
It's been a wild ride.
In a recent public dispute between Saber Interactive CEO Matt Karch and former writer Stella Sacco, the company has added an AI disclaimer to its Steam page for the game "Rideshare," acknowledging the use of AI-generated dialogue and music. Karch defended the decision, stating that it aligns with their original intentions and that the net cost of incorporating these features was significantly higher than leaving them out.
He also expressed willingness to engage in a reasonable conversation about the role of AI in shaping gamer experiences. The situation has been described as messy, with Sacco accusing Karch of making a "remarkably pathetic" statement and questioning the company's transparency. Despite the controversy, Karch remains open to discussing the integration of AI in gaming and the impact it has on the industry.
