just last week, Granblue Fantasy developer Cygames has now published an apology on social media.<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine, the initial announcement went down incredibly poorly, given the heavy cynicism that currently surrounds generative AI use in video games.<\/p>\n<p>Without going into too much detail, the company stated that the newly opened studio would be dedicated to the research and development of AI projects. Again, there was an immediate, widespread backlash.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, this apology isn&#8217;t <em>necessarily<\/em> apologising for establishing the AI studio in the first place. Instead, Cygames suggests that it didn&#8217;t do a good job of explaining its intentions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We released a simplified announcement in Japanese concerning the founding of Cygames AI Studio, Inc., without addressing any of the current problems and social debates surrounding generative AI. We sincerely apologize for the concern we\u2019ve caused,&#8221; it writes.<\/p>\n<p>Cygames then attempts to calm things down: &#8220;We would like to take this opportunity to state that art produced from generative AI isn\u2019t used in our products. Furthermore, we won\u2019t implement generative AI into our products without prior notice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\"><!-- cache: oembed\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/cygames_en\/status\/2011423481712517537 @ 2026-01-14T17:32:42+00:00 --><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\"><p><span lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZYF6DlSuAC\">pic.twitter.com\/ZYF6DlSuAC<\/a><\/span>\u2014 Cygames (@Cygames_EN) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cygames_EN\/status\/2011423481712517537?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Of course, this statement&#8217;s already being scrutinised.
