Web News: The Clair Obscur AI Debacle
About this episode
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was one of 2025’s most celebrated games - until the Indie Game Awards stripped it of Game of the Year and Debut Game honors. The reason? The use of Gen AI placeholder assets during development, some of which accidentally shipped and were later patched out. In this Web News, we break down what happened, why the IGAs took such a hard stance, and what this controversy says about Gen AI disclosure, tooling, and modern game development.
