> It's up to the Indie Game Awards to decide the criteria

And up to us to decide whether The Indie Game Awards has impaired their credibility by choosing such a ridiculous criterion.

Do you think AAA game development teams pass on AI despite the fact that it produces better results at a fraction of the cost. I think not. Why would you cripple Indie developers by imposing such a standard on indie developers?

It seems completely out of touch with what's going on in the world of software development.
