IFComp 2026 Rule Update

In case you or anyone hasn’t seen it, there’s an extensive writeup from the other perspective here:

Honestly I empathize with both of y’all in this case. It sucks to see folks break the rules in a way that’s relatively easy for an outsider like you to check, when you know the AI generated stuff is stealing air from you or the authors you care about. And I can see how spending an extra day AInvestigating every hosted game, which is supposed to be the cheap and easy option for CoG, could destroy the economics for a small business.

This all sucks! It sucks for everyone! It’s really bad out there! I think we’re going to need to be very generous with each other for the next few years.
