CESA reports that over 85% of Japanese game developers use generative AI at least occasionally, while studios are prioritizing human review, restricted tools, and policies against using raw outputs unchanged.

Just saw the video Japan Embraced Gen AI on Games by brasilian youtuber tvPH, and thought of bringing it to attention here.

I posted a news article about it since it’s in english, but the video I linked should be fine with generated subtitles for anyone that wants to see it but doesn’t speak portuguese.

Honestly I had no idea gen AI was so big in Japanese game development, this caught me by surprise. Shit is bleak.
