Gossip: Is 'Corridor of Destiny' the First Gacha Game Using Exclusively AI-Generated Art?

A new scoop from the NGA gossip forums reveals that the mobile game 'Corridor of Destiny' has become the center of attention for potentially being the first gacha game to openly and exclusively utilize AI-generated character art. While the issue is being discussed, the reaction from the community has been surprisingly mixed rather than purely negative.

The original poster highlights the inevitable debate surrounding copyright and ethics in AI art. A common sentiment is: if developers save significantly on art costs by cutting out human illustrators, shouldn't the monetization be adjusted accordingly? Many players are skeptical, questioning if the game still charges the standard '648 RMB for 20-30 pulls' model despite the lower production costs.

In the comment section, opinions vary wildly. Some view this as a potential industry trend that could lead to lower costs for players, while others criticize the distinct, 'plastic' aesthetic of the AI art, noting a lack of professional polish. Critics also raised concerns about intellectual property; if a company uses AI, what stops fans from using AI to rip and alter their assets? Beyond the art, players also complained about archaic game design, such as having to manually claim dozens of daily rewards one by one, further fueling the dissatisfaction with the game's overall quality.
