| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Partial AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI helped draft some in-game written notes, which players see, so scope is parts rather than none. The developer refined the text and released only two games in a year, showing limited but real production effort. Three reviews after a month is thin but not evidence of volume release. Against: Only written notes are affected, not art, audio, or voice; the developer edited the drafts, and the game has 100% positive reviews from a small sample. |
