This is also why they’re not terribly concerned about boycotts or cancellations from regular consumers. That’s not the value proposition they’re offering to advertisers and others appearing there.

I would have a lot more respect for anti-AI boycotts of indie games if it was also matched by similar BDS and anti-Saudi PIF sentiment.
