In B&W you played a god essentially, and you’d have a sort of pet. Not your avatar, but something independent that you had to sort of slightly motivate to do things.
It probably had some “AI” in it and the author is now trying to assert his ideas led to AI, despite him probably copying as much for his code as any coder today.
I genuinely don’t know I can’t be arsed to open it but I’m guessing something something those lines. Someone will come along and tell me how wrong I was.
I haven’t heard about it in soooo long that I’ve forgotten… but is the issue with getting B&W on Steam/whereever is because the IP owner is more or less unknown? Kinda like No One Lives Forever 2?
Honestly, at that point just distribute it. If there is an owner he will speak up. (I wish ownership rights / copyrights would account for such cases better)

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
That’s a fucking stretch.
This has Peter Molyneux all over it. It’s exactly the hyperbole he’s known for.
I vaguely remember him announcing a new game, so this is just SEO’ing his name back into the AI hype cycle.
Very strong points.
This headline makes no sense to me.
Not being able to parse it only makes sense when it contains words like “hairbrained”, “stoner-powered”, and “AI”
Isn’t it supposed to be “harebrained”?
[sic]
“Hairbrained” is better anyway

Okay, now finally make it available and playable again. There is a reason that it is the most requested game on GOG.
