Think how much easier it will be to fire an AI CEO than a real one! We've sacked Ocrulos AI CEO and will be replacing him with Kensho Technologies v3 CEO.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying what we're getting out there right now is overall great from everyone. There are obviously a lot of bad writers out there. The problem is AI learning from bad writers. No thanks!
Him fired or not matters not. When he's gone, he'll be replaced by someone who will, in the end, make the exact same decisions. It's all about PR to hide the greed, nothing else.
***bowing to peer pressure from a minority of clout chasing critics***
But this didn't happen. No one complained about one specific outfit, but in general the skimpiness of the outfits overall. But they censored just one outfit and not the others that showed even more skin?
***I mean, we wouldn’t say that about the Helldivers 2 situation. ***
Not even comparable. If PSN becomes required, it's obvious the owner of PSN made that decision. People are just running with theories on Stellar Blade.
*** Look, I get that it’s not a big deal or worth anything to you. It’s easy to get ugly about it with each other because of differences in perspective and stances. ***
It wouldn't be such a big deal if people ...
If you want a tool to reduce the time it takes to make a product, AI is a tool to do that. If you want a tool to just make content for you, AI is a poor crutch for good writing and storytelling.
Sure, I'm the one drinking the koolaid. Keep believing in the corporations. They definitely have your best interests in mind. All hail the Big Green, For You Blue, and Nostalgia Red! All praise big corporations buying up other publishers. All praise the inevitable spreadsheet adjustments. For greed, not the players.
Phil Spencer right now https://media1.tenor.com/m/...
***If the makers of a GOTY competitor that outdid sales and Game Pass expectations and owned by the richest company in the world cannot stay open - what hope is there for everyone else?***
None if you stay in an arena of corporate driven metrics. And this is what happens when you allow publishers to buy up massive amounts of studios and IPs. There's only so much internal competition and the focus in the end will remain on those who look best on a spreadsheet.
...
So, Phil gets canned. Do people really think that the person to replace him won't kowtow to those above him? Like his replacement won't look at spreadsheets to find things to remove and ignore the human element and accomplishments behind those numbers?
No matter whether Phil is there or not, the problem isn't just Phil. It's the corporate culture and how they prioritize numbers over anything else. Stop acting like getting rid of Phil will get rid of the issu...
Spoke by giving them their biggest selling hardware generation ever?
***Bad take. You make out as though Sony walked it back out of the goodness of their hearts.***
Literally not what I said. I point out how games used their power to force this change. But, if you're going to leave the same bad message that gave you the power even though they caved in to said power and knowing that this news would not be wiped from history, why would they listen to you the next time? If you're only doing to be angry no matter what, why not be angry a...
That'll teach Sony! Now that they know you will only change good reviews to bad but never the other way, I'm certain they'll be more likely to listen to similar outrage in the future. Especially seeing as the update to do the thing you didn't want to happen never happened. So, it was only the news of it that made the game worse, not the actual change.
I'm all for pushing your weight around to get corporations to make changes that benefit the community, ...
Oh, so it's okay to buy MTX-laden games as long as you don't spend money on MTX, which has led to even more MTX-laden games with even more predatory practices where content that used to be unlocked is now behind paywalls?
C'mon now people. You gave the corporations and inch, and they kept taking and taking. Community members told people that investing in these things alone would only lead to more and more MTX and putting more and more behind paywalls. But it...
Thanks! My apologies.
***@Christopher, what is Sony going to do the next time they try and make it a requirement to sign up for a psn account and you get this same outcry from the pc community? ***
Support the idea that people shouldn't be forced to jump through multiple logins to access a game not even on the platform from which the login exists and hope, once again, that gamers actually wield their ire to combat all issues and not just situational band wagon items popular on Reddit.
It's not the fault of the gaming industry. Gamers were told what was happening, were warned about where this would lead, did nothing, and now are acting like it's the fault of publishers that they kept buying these games and investing in MTX. If only those gamers at that time felt as strongly about these things as they do Helldivers 2.
WTF?
Origin didn't fail, it's EA app now.
Ubisoft Connect/UPlay have been around since 2009.
Rockstar Game Launcher is required to play their games.

Kalypso launcher.
