Ex-Fortnite producer: AI backlash in games is "mostly for show"

Former Fortnite producer Aakash Gupta said the public fight over AI in game development is largely performative, noting Epic Games has already wired Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini into Unreal Engine. He cites surveys showing roughly 87–90% of developers already use AI agents at work.

• Gupta: inside Epic a pivot turns the whole company in a week; Sweeney's memo just confirms it
• Epic has integrated Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini into Unreal Engine
• Google Cloud found 9 in 10 game developers already use AI agents
• Sweeney previously called Steam's mandatory AI disclosures "really irresponsible"
