It's another expense because the people who can tell if an artist is a good fit for a project from a portfolio (especially if there's a particular art style involved) and can tell the use of unethical image sourcing (which used to be someone tracing reference art too closely but these days is using algorithmically generated art as reference if not just straight-up generated art) are talented and experienced and thus in-demand and expensive...but it's going to become a necessity for any game publisher if they want to make sure the art they use is not only ethically sourced but also, considering the current state of IP law for the copyright of algorithmic generation (namely you can't copyright it), legally sound.</p></blockquote><p></p>
