    This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

    Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it’s going to be years from now.

    I’m sure he’ll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn’t bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.

    Let the first AAA woke game bomb.

    He and trump are like two wicked and ridiculous Roald Dahl villains. Insufferable, and how. I wish they’d both just fuck off.

      I’m pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

      If he wasn’t such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.

    Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn’t guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

      I bet he’s banking on marketing the games as “anti-woke” and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

        Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

        I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his “vision” to life.

          Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.

          Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

    A certain type of goateed chungus will take as an article of faith that this is a revolution in gaming, preorder multiple copies of these games and send death threats to anyone who suggests that they’re not great.

      Him going going utterly insane because he is Tiny* Stark but omniscient should be on the card from now on.

    Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

    It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you’ll just get hot garbage out.

      The people pushing AI don’t care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.

      I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.

        Thing is, he has a big enough bankroll to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. 100Mil for a triple-A game is effectively pocket change when you’re worth a couple hundred billion. He’ll keep trying until he gets bored or stumbles onto the next Fortnite out of sheer luck.

          He stands to gain more through his political influence than he has lost with Twitter, and the latter arguably helped him get the former. By itself, his acquisition of Twitter is and will remain a loss; in the grand scheme of things, though, it was a sort of investment that is likely to pay off handsomely. If he’s learnt anything, it’s that the United States have devolved into a plutocracy that capital can steer off the common interest of their citizens and the common good.

      not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent

      But… it is*?

      *: From the perspective of upper management and higher.
