NetEase Orders Studios To Ban AI Usage

Goichi Suda (Suda51) told Eurogamer that NetEase instructed its studios not to use generative AI in games and reportedly shut down an internal AI research division. He said the company did not explain the decision, though he suggested player backlash and copyright risks may have influenced the policy. The comments reference Grasshopper Manufacture's Romeo is a Dead Man and past ChatGPT experiments in NetEase titles.
