it’s on the steam store page:

AI GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

The use of AI in Vice Undercover was strictly limited to enhancing a limited number of database images, such as some faces, objects, and locations. All images began with original photographs taken by the team, which were then used to create datasets for generating initial concepts. These AI-generated images were not used as-is—instead, they served as a starting point for detailed, creative transformation. Every final image was extensively painted, composited, and refined using original photographs and artistic elements, ensuring that all visuals align with the game’s unique style and authenticity. AI was simply one tool in a much larger creative process driven by human artistry.

it was funny until i saw “we’re loosing him” :/

from what i remember before i jumped from macos to debian is that debian does not collect data, save for maybe like crash reports or something but that can be toggled off. the packages you install may collect data, depending on what you’re installing.

fuck these turds! smash on sight 🆘

same situation here: tmo cell network + mullvad vpn. i only get blocked by websites that don’t allow vpn connections, like reddit.
