YES. YES IT DOES.

Everyone that works on a game is a game developer.

QA is a part of game development. Marketing is a part of game development. Community management is a part of game development. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

IMHO hat er bis zu gewissen Grad wohl Recht.
Es gibt sicher Bereiche in der Spieleentwicklung, wo AI und KI Vorteile bringt und wodurch ein Devteam entlastet werden kann.

Ich bin daher kein Freund davon AI und KI in der Spieleindustrie perse zu verteufeln.

Wichtig ist IMHO, dass AI und KI in der Spieleentwicklung verantwortungsvoll eingesetzt werden.
Dann können am Ende alle (Gamer, Devstudios und Publisher) davon profitieren.
