True. Especially indie game awards. That have the least resources available and most like would benefit most from some use of AI. At that scale often even reasonably paid game developers are expensive.

I hear FIFA makes new awards these days

Just to be clear, it's some Indie Game awards, not the main The Game Awards

That’s not how awards work. Awards trade on prestige. In order for an award to matter, the people you’re giving it to have to care.

I think you’ll find most of the small teams making popular indie video games aren’t going to be interested in winning a pro-AI award.
