      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.

    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.

    I can’t wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it’s ass, and then claim the only people that don’t like it are the woke mob that kills art.

      I’m sure he’ll just sue people for not buying it like he’s trying to do with his other products.

    On the bright side there’s about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry’s seen plenty of attempts already

    And if it’s good then ill just pirate it :3

      Just because it’s bad don’t mean that it won’t make money hand over fist. Look at everything Disney produces.

        Making money from a slightly smaller pile of money is easy.

        Making ever more money from increasingly smaller piles of money is hard, and that’s what they all career headlong towards for no discernable reason whatsoever.

    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.

            Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.

        I think you meant Phil Harrison. Spencer is the current head of Microsoft gaming division and Harrison is the turd who somehow keeps failing upwards.

    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.

    Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

    Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

    so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to ‘make games great again’

    Oh whew. He’s got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

    This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.
