Still, this situation just harkens back to that one animator who did the Scooby-Doo/Springtrap animation and got chewed out for using AI voices for lack of budget. There is SO MUCH hard work and legitimate effort put into this project that anyone who refuses to support the book finally coming into existence by whatever means necessary is someone who isn't worth their contribution.We're selling and buying TTRPG supplement books here, not missiles. Slop is being produced every day. The conceptual fear of "hurting" or "stealing" from artists is bull because you've paid more than your pound of flesh. You commissioned so much of the book legitimately and if the finish line needs some budgetary decisions, so be it.</blockquote>
