On Sunday, the author laments the gaming industry's slide into ethical erosion, condemning publishers, AI‑driven hype, and misplaced priorities. He pivots to recommend a curated list of non‑gaming reads that celebrate food, architecture, and culture.
Key Takeaways
- Gaming industry’s moral decline
- AI tools misused for hype
- Curated non‑gaming reads for Sunday
Sunday offers a moment to step back and evaluate the week, and this week’s observation is stark: the video‑game sector has sunk into a profound moral abyss. Publishers appear to be “selling to executioners,” and even once‑trusted indie modders now weaponise AI to cut corners and mislead players.
In response, the author shifts focus to a selection of quality articles that have nothing to do with games. The first piece, by Linni Kral in Taste, celebrates the simple joy of food and the natural messiness of digestion, urging readers to embrace culinary curiosity without anxiety.
Another highlight, by Bettina Makalintal for Eater, critiques AI‑generated restaurant menus that often look absurd—gravity‑defying sandwiches and impossible cocktail shadows—underscoring how technology can erode authenticity.
The column also touches on football governance, exposing a controversial proposal that would grant FIFA president Gianni Infantino a $60 million‑a‑year “golden parachute,” a deal many view as ethically dubious.
