It's the dream of many a startup founder: Make something people love and wind up wildly rich, selling the company for billions.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.
This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
The Minecraft 1.21 Tricky Trials update's combat and technical aspects make it a fitting choice to bring in one missing crafting recipe.
Disagree with this as much as you want.
But I feel like he should feel bad.
He pretty much created the inde movement he was already making enough money to live like a king, doing something that made millions of people happy but he sold it to the most corporate people on the planet from the most capitalist nation on the planet.
It was a huge disappointment, he could have had everything he wanted and stayed true to himself and the people who enjoyed Minecraft.
Anyone who says money can't buy happiness is an idiot but when you have enough for ten lifetimes getting enough for twenty doesn't matter.
I don't wish for anyone to be unhappy but if he is unhappy he's got no one to blame but himself.
"Hanging out in ibiza with a bunch of friends and partying with famous people, able to do whatever I want, and I've never felt more isolated."
Yeah, sounds like Notch life is a living hell. /s

I'd love to see my bank account with a few of those zeroes at the right of my current balance now.
I have to say I think some of these responses are sickening. The lack of empathy expressed here and on other sites is kinda sad. I don't care how rich he is now the truth is he's a real human being who has undergone a loss (loss of direction, loss of connectedness).
Whether it's of his own making is beside the point. Having your life drastically change can make anyone lose themselves a bit. From what I've seen of him he's a good human being. Hope for him he finds himself again and plugs into something of value.
From the outside it seems kind of obvious that a creative like him needs to stay creative to be happy. I personally would love to see him help create/fund amazing large scale games and/or help others create those games. Or maybe poor some of that cash into the indi community and help foster the next generation of Minecrafts.
Whatever he chooses best of luck to him.
