Yeah, do you use any Microsoft products at all (like 98% of corporate software development does)? Everything from teams to word to visual studio has copilot sitting there. It would just take one employee asking it a question to render a no-AI pledge a lie.

No one [intelligent] is using an LLm for workflow organization. Despite what the media will try to convince you, Not every AI is an LLM or even and LLM trained on all the copyrighted shit you can find in the Internet.

Because they probably use the word procedural somewhere. Scripted repeat enemy encounters is decades older than Pokemon

Why is reading so hard for so many on this platform?

They did change the one scene where that could have even conceivably applied. It wasn’t actually that to begin with, either.

I mean, he released the communication he’s received. It’s not super clear. And the things he thinks it was isn’t even in the current version of the game

Except people give them passes for shit that they don’t extend to other companies. The blind loyalty is stupid

Unless it unexpectedly sells gangbusters, the dev says they’re likely to shut down as not having the massive steam audience to sell to won’t net them enough to continue. And people are stupidly loyal to valve for some reason.

US Steel is now a Japanese company

The people lazy enough to have ai generate their code aren’t going to do that. You’re acting like games didn’t already have bugs before we invented a mostly wrong shortcut that kinda looks just good enough to fake being useful.

Cause there is no problem in keeping code quality while using AI,

Hahahahahahahaha

Gears of War was huge.

Unreal Tournament was pretty big for several iterations.

Unreal engine is STILL used by half the video game industry.

It’s almost like my next sentence addresses this argument already. You can never completely be sure

There’s a lot of outsourcing on these big games these days, so likely, some random contractor knowingly took the images and made a texture out of it, passing the work off as their own. And Bungie didn’t really have a way to verify if what they paid for for was original or not.

It was only identified because the original artist recognized their own work.

I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing. Even doing all the work in house runs the risk of a rogue employee lying.

Their big announcement had pushed all the sales lists down the page far enough that you couldn’t see them without scrolling. That’s different from how the page usually looks.

It’s illegal to collect ANY data from children under 13. Facial scans are WAY worse than the anonymized use stats those laws were put in place to block

Doesn’t make this one good

Because not everyone is young enough to have just gotten into computers at a time when there’s actual Linux compatibility with a significant percentage of software…

They had to be forced into allowing refunds. They’re pretty shit with dealing with hacked accounts. Their forced price parity rules effectively raise prices across the industry.

Other companies being worse doesn’t make this one defacto good.

I’ve read horror stories on how valve is run. It’s flat amongst the average dev, but they still get those scary phones calls from wherever other location the management works in where they randomly cut projects and dozens of jobs at any time.

I still don’t get why people go to bat for valve, despite all the anti consumer shit they regularly do.

No one liked Windows 8. This doesn’t really prove anything.

He doesn’t want his company to be beholden to another for it’s future.

Look at all the issues phone app companies have when Google or Apple just kills their businesses on a whim with a tweak of their terms of service language.

There’s nothing left. They’ve basically all merged into like a mega corporation at this point.

Then there’s one AAAA game.

I mean, they claim there’s one, but evidence says otherwise. Them spending a lot on their shitty arena shooter with boats didn’t make it any higher quality.

Every single merge that has ever announced this, turned out to be wrong

Does this mean my 3 remaining shares of HMNY (after an insane reverse split) will be worth more than 0 after all these years?

I think it’s your cartels, bro

I don’t think the other extreme is any better.

Honestly surprised anyone who could claim to be a journalist was left in that advertising front of an industry

This shit should not be patentable in the first place

Have these devs never played an online game before? Have they not interacted with players, ever? It will be a race to see which asshole can ruin the game for the most the fastest

Yes they did:

FASA

Digital anvil

Lionhead

Ensemble Studios

…

MSFT has been lagging behind the S&P this week. I doubt they’re super thrilled.

Yeah… Gamers are a demographic well known for holding their opinions to themselves…/s

Do you think they don’t have video games over there? What a bizarre thing to say. They’re able to effectively censor all kinds of other media, why do you think RPGs are special?

Yeah, nothing like an ultra conservative theocratic dictatorship to really expand those creative freedoms…

Uh…Mass Effect 4 wasn’t a massive success, and they DID gut the studio.

This would have been ME5

This shit needs to be made illegal. All it does is kill off businesses. Sears and JoAnn Fabrics both died to this trash.

This specific instance? Worse.

It’s being bought by blood money (Kushner’s $2billion investment/bribe to hush up the US government about the brutal murder of a US resident journalist at the hands of the Saudis). Plus a country that somehow is even more squeamish about content than the US is in charge - look forward to way more censorship.
