Unsurprisingly, if you're the creator of Dragon Quest, AI is a great tool for churning out content that makes headlines. But for the majority of people? Not a chance. I'll never get why Joe Everymanโ„ข๏ธ defends this tech when it's clearly only designed to help the rich pull the ladder up behind them.

The Game UI Database YouTube channel has just reached 400 videos!! Featuring uninterrupted footage of various games, with all of their UI menus and elements featured:

I didn't mention copyright anywhere though...?

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 3:43 PM

Yep. I'd say it would actually irresponsible for anyone in my position to not be vocal about this. Ultimately, we're the ones holding these companies to account.

Thanks so much!

Omg I missed this ๐Ÿคฃโ™ฅ๏ธ

Knowing where so many creative tools (Rive, Adobe, etc) have ended up with their AI adoption, I dread to think what the Game UI Database could have become in the hands of someone with no respect for the creative process. The GUIDB is proudly anti-AI and will always champion humans, no matter what!

'Giving it to the world?' What are you on about?

Congrats mate!

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 8:37 PM

Thanks Nanda!

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 3:14 PM

I have not! I'll reach out!

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 3:13 PM

I'm sure they'll find a way to scrape that too ๐Ÿ˜’

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 2, 2026, 3:09 PM

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Not yet sadly, I started getting threats from some AI twerps so I've just been working on ways to protect my work.

@eddcoates.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 3:54 PM

That was me sorry bbz, I was feeling insecure that day x
