Microsoft's ad for its Copilot AI chatbot aired at the Super Bowl LVIII yesterday evening included a questionable message for aspiring game developers.

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
Oof I think that's a not idea to do because it screams imo less passion in development but hey that's my view.
Microsoft encouraging programmers losing their jobs to the soulless machine.
They're all going to use it in the coming years. To what extent where it eliminates jobs is the question.
I'm not scared of AI or robots. How they are implemented in our society to make things more efficient or better is what's the big deal. And who controls them behind the scenes to influence others. Or built to cause chaos, ruin and death. Because we know there are those that will build AI or robots to do that as well.
But I want to see the positive things that come from using AI to build limitless worlds and stories when it comes to games and VR. Anyone that watches Star Trek can see the Holodeck and the AI that controls it can be for good as an educational tool and entertainment. Or, it can also cause harm or even kill you. But it's how it's used that determines what happens.
But even in Star Trek, they still love the live performance of music, written word, theater plays and art done by human beings.
its more a ploy that programmers lose their jobs
AI will kill creativity. No thanks
