Legal experts warn that the current patchwork of anti-AI clauses is merely a prelude to what could become a flood of copyright litigation, as game studios grapple with a technology that can replicate their art, voice, and design without permission. The resistance underscores how thoroughly generative AI has become a third rail in gaming—a technology simultaneously too powerful to ignore and too legally ambiguous to trust.
