This is, frankly, par for the course for IGDA. I have rarely ever got the sense that an IGDA chapter or SIG was run by people with awareness of what was going on outside their own navel.

I think the most confusing thing about this situation for me is this: the IGDA still exists???
The SIG does not endorse the use of AI. Participants in the Arcjam are forbidden from using the technology for this event, since that is not the focus of this initiative. Arcweave disabled their AI integration features for the jam at our request. We apologize for any misunderstanding.

this is why I’m so perplexed and disappointed with the IGDA game writing SIG’s decision to host a game jam in which developers are asked to use a narrative middleware tool that ~no one has ever heard of ~no studio uses. this is of no benefit to anyone beyond those who are promoting it.
If only there were another "professional tool" people could use for game writing that did not use AI at all... 🤔🤔🧐

IGDA SIGs have long had a reputation as circlejerks of careerist losers whose value to the actual business of making video games is nil at best, but jesus fucking christ.
Do not, under any circumstances, ever give this organization your money, time, or attention.

The IGDA is what you get when too many blithering imbeciles gather in close proximity & convince each other that having meetings & sending e-mails equals Doing Anything

like if the IGDA needs money they should just say so instead of this “we’re running this again ONLY because you wanted it!”
