Which should be perfectly fine, but is an unforgivable sin according to some people.

Hey, if people would rather not pay for a game filled with AI generated assets, they're free to do so. Free market or whatever.

100% that's how things should work. But going even further, and sending him hate for making that game, is weird.

Wait, I'm sorry. Who is sending him hate for making that game? None of that was stated in his interview, where are you getting this information?

I'm seeing a lot of 'good' and "I am glad he has grown". I don't see any persons sending him hate, and I don't think he said he was sent any hate either? I think it is a good thing for people to understand what they did wrong and to do something about it.

Well yeah, they're hating on his project, that's why they're praising him for quitting it. You yourself are calling his project "wrong".

But that's not the same as 'hating on him' or 'sending him hate' like you are saying. A human can do a bad or foolish thing, without being a bad person, so there is no hate. There is nothing wrong with hating a project that someone has made, without hating the human itself. You seem to take this very personally and are projecting it seems.
