FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies

"LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse".
For the longest time, I've been content with only making 2D games, but lately I've been getting ideas for games that could only work in 3D.
Namely, I want to make light-gun rail-shooters akin to games like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead because it's a dead genre that almost nobody seems interested in reviving. There are already light-guns for PC like the Sinden, which basically acts like a mouse so lack of available hardware isn't an issue.
I don't know when or if I would have time to make such a game. I do have a dream game that I want to make which is not this, but I also would love to revive the feeling of early 2000s gaming and this is a genre that seemed to have died with the Dreamcast (outside of arcade games and a couple of games for the Wii).
@PurpCat @tinosoft @madonline Anyone who doesn't interact with him or his friends from Gab (he brought a lot of Gab refugees over to FSE back in 2019-2020).
Actually, I used to interact with him a couple of times back when he was on FSE. He blocked me, but I don't know why. Maybe it's because I called Trump controlled opposition. I haven't interacted with him at all we he moved to Poast. It's just not worth it.
@madonline @tinosoft I don't even bother interacting with that guy.
@beardalaxy I think they really wanted to focus AI because otherwise custom content would require users to have some basic scripting knowledge, which is extremely uncommon for the target demographic of this type of game. It's a brilliant idea in theory, but in practice it results in a ton of bugs and AI hallucination and as @SuperDicq said, if effectively renders the game SaaS, otherwise it would require a REALLY beefy PC to run.
Though AI facial animations are just some useless gimmick for creating social media videos.
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club Other than it being proprietary slop. It also depends on online services to function so this game will definitely stop working a few years from now when it becomes no longer profitible to keep hosting the expensive machine learning models for this. So don't waste your money.
