then again it's a splash for an sale that's going to be up for like a week.
I don't shop at GOG because they're a paragon of human-first graphic design. Given their current tenuous finances if they wanna save a bunch of money not hiring someone to do these splash screens, whatever. go for it.
though as I posted below some of their photoshopped banners haven't exactly been works of art:

slop has been around a long time. it's just faster to make now.
I'm certainly not going to stop buying from GOG over this one incident. That said, this does reduce the esteem I had held them in. Now I'll have to be on alert about them, where I didn't have to before.
Even though it does make me think less of them, if they limit this kind of nonsense to ephemeral banner ads, I can put up with it. If it expands, though, I'll definitely be less likely to continue spending money with them.
For what? If the UI gets absurdly ugly or becomes some horrible lovecraftian mess and is unusable, sure, don't shop there. Are you going to download every graphic they use and comb over it for signs of AI?
like why? why does that matter?
