Yesterday, a court dismissed game developer Digital Homicide’s $10 million case against YouTube critic Jim Sterling. Fortunately for those of us who write about video games, Sterling’s scathing critique of Digital Homicide’s game Slaughtering Grounds won’t create precedent for developers slamming critics with million-dollar lawsuits.
By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.
Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!
Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one
Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.
They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
These "developers" are easily some of the most prime examples of human pieces of crap. They literally made a bunch of games, that would make the Atari 2600 look like a super computer, that were just slapped together assets they stole from Gary's Mod, all so they could claim they have this massive portfolio when people call bullshit; they then immediately played the victims and tried to sue for tens of millions of dollars. A couple of friggin scam artists, through and through. I hope that their legal bills for all this pointless mess were incredibly high and that they're swimming in debt now. Absolutely pathetic.
Good.
Dumbasses wasting the court time.

Thank the gaming gods????
Is that what Kotaku took from this? Wow. That's not even what the suit was about.
Maybe the author should be made aware, that if they make up sh*t, then they certainly can be slapped with multi-million dollar lawsuits. Sterling didn't do that, which is why this case was never going to go anywhere to begin with. It was frivolous. Sterling said no lies, nor did he do anything wrong.
But not all scenarios where this may happen will be like that, so journalists should be responsible, and think that this particular case is somehow indicative that they can just do whatever they want. Integrity is still important. Just be truthful, and you'll be fine.
