Background: Terraforming Mars is a eurogame, which means that it's a game about pushing cubes and efficiency for giga-neurodivergents with no care for visuals or window dressing whatsoever. As you can probably tell from the straight forward name, space theme, and general presentation. Board g*mers get off from their job at the Excel factory, excited to pay $40 for the 20th expansion for a game that is probably exactly like their workday. They are dismayed to find that in the fine print, the company is admitting to using AI art to create the next line of unimpressive visuals that literally nobody cares about or pays attention to. Probably the best-case scenario for unedited AI visuals, but since board game consumers are the best programmed consumers for the coming culture war, they have to be mad about it because of intersectionality meaning that AI art is part of the furry genocide or something (the underlying thread connecting all these groups is Autism)
Boardgamecels mad about Terraforming Mars' devs love for AI art.
