I might have missed something. What I saw what was your opinion that the cover art shouldn’t matter. My point is that it does.
Your position seems to be that you would want to signal that your games are untrustworthy while simultaneously enticing people to play them.
I guess I don’t understand who’s in your target audience. Most people depend on trust when taking the risk of downloading someone’s program.
The type of people looking for AI-generated covers are likely for AI-generation the games. If that’s not what you’re offering, then the cover feels deceptive. People click away, regardless of what operating system they’re on or how much the game costs (nothing monetarily up front).
You don’t have to go out and find decent stock images or talk to artists who are already trust you or anything. It just felt like that point wasn’t coming through the discussions before.
