This is manipulation to sell more copies and nothing more.

...yes? People who make games do things to make their game appeal to people. Framing that as a negative or unusual is kind of weird. Literally everything any game developer does to make the game entertaining or appealing is "a manipulation to sell more copies".

I think framing this as "refusing" to use AI is kind of weird. They believe in doing things the traditional way, great, I think games that use all hand-drawn nondigital art are also cool for going against the grain like that, and making a point of supporting artists is laudable, but it isn't like anyone is trying to force them not to.
