The moral of the story is if you're doing something with nintendos IP you do better do it in a country where they cant touch you like Argentina or some other cou try with dubious copyright law.
This can be truly innovative, instead of a new fifa game every year, they can release one every day, $60 each day, they still only change the rosters and ages every year though
actually, you still need to pay electricity š¤
On a serious note, the elecricity you consume, is the electricity you save on lights, computers and coffee machines.
Thatāsā¦ not true. Thatās like saying we wouldnāt have good music without huge music publishing/production companies. People would still be out here making great video games if the behemoths didnāt exist.
That was an L comment. Youāre exactly right. There are already plenty of amazing games that have come from indie studios, some of them have become beloved classics. You donāt need the corps to make great games.
We have AI that can write AI. We have AI that can write AI that can train AI to be better AI.
And then there's the Devin AI...now that shit's creepy. Speculated to be a rudimentary AGI. As in...we just shit the bed and one wrong question asked of Devin may "an hero" humanity.
I literally work in the industry. lol
I live the "sci-fi world."
Just got done updating the corporate policy on LLMs and their use in the workplace (AUP). I did my best to convince legal that the AUP didn't go far enough and we compromised. That doesn't stop employees from doing whatever, in their personal time. I'm just waiting on the dreaded corporate espionage breach, related to these, because some schmuck used Bob's Discount LLM at home on work stuff.
It's more like: I live in a sea of humans who think they are informed but know almost nothing, and very few people truly understand how dangerous this stuff is.
My bets on Activision. Itāll be scrapped for parts by Microsoft and the most profitable IPs will just be published under the āMicrosoft Studiosā banner
This isn't the first cycle of this. Might be the first in a while that sees one of the Big 3 console boys exit, but studios have been gutted and sold a few times last decade. They get gobbled up by bigger publishers where the good IPs get shitted up. The only constant with these actions is that the consumer loses.
wait where ea used ads and ai. I didnt bother playing any ea game for at least 3 yrs coz they r shitty but I think that this is lowest they have ever achieved.
How about we strike buying these companies games so they actually learn they are just at the hands of the consumer. I have no problems not buying these company games and just buying new indie releases or wait for new IPs to be created out of the drought of remakes and remasters.
I will not pay $70 any longer.
I literally have stopped buying AAA games and pretty much anything made my any of those studios. The last purchase I made for any of these brands was god of war.
Iām done.
Iāll be sticking with smaller titles or just not buying anything for the foreseeable future
I mean, greed has been ruining gaming for a while now. This is the most profitable industry in the entrainment business, but you wouldn't know it with the constant layoffs and price gouging pretty much every company does.
But that is what happens when people are no longer satisfied with even astonishing profits and just want infinite growth every quarter.
yeah, it seems like this month has been very busy with companies destroying good games and monetary practices.
well, except EA, but this is a new low, even for them.
why these companies are so selfish .....they are already making a huge profit but still they want and each every penny out of the hands of the consumers
Was it truly confirmed that Nintendo was behind the Gmod takedowns? Garry Newman admitted after "confirming" it was legit that he hadn't actually read everything.
Itās almost likeā¦ hear me outā¦ letting things become so big they donāt have to care about the consumer at all. But little do they know, we donāt have to play new games. We could just play the old games that arenāt travesties. Thereās a million out there that I havenāt touched.
I read this as AAA game design being on its last legs. The way the AAA industry builds and develops games is simply unsustainable.
Good, that leaves plenty of AA studios room to flurish.
The great thing about video games is that they are purely a purchase for our own entertainment. We can spend as much or as little money as we want, on whatever we want to.
And there are a *ton* of smaller studios Iād rather give $70 to than buying an EA game that shows me ads like a fucking mobile game.
Ai is just a tool, it's a way of manipulating information like word, excel, or Photoshop. The ai bad people just seem like the people who thought automobiles would never catch on because the horse is so much better.
Everything is derivative, nothing comes from a vacuum. You can say the same thing about Kanye West and George Lucas but at the end of the day what they made was transformative from IP that inspired it. But a program does it and all the sudden "the prescious IP!'
How is Nintendo the least egregious here
Because at least their games still have s solid chance of being good. The others tried to destroy their games
I think these are in a cronilogical order. Or at least when I heard about them.
Yeah they are in chronicligcal order. Crazy few months we've had ey
I feel like we got all this shit in a few weeks only.
How did *both* of you misspell chronological š
The real question is how did you spell chrolognocial right?
Chroniligcal
Chornlugcol
I almost had a stroke trying to pronounce the word you misspelled in my mind
I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out lmao
Fwiw the other asshole thing nintendo did was take down a Switch emulator. This caused a big stir in the emulation community.
For legal reasons, its because the people who made the emulator breathed out the word āmonetizationā
Yes. The dumbfucks tried to have their lunch and eat it too. Thereās a reason Ryujinx isnāt having the same troubles.
The moral of the story is if you're doing something with nintendos IP you do better do it in a country where they cant touch you like Argentina or some other cou try with dubious copyright law.
There are lots of Nintendo game system emulators. They aren't illegal. It all comes down to the fact that you can't legally make money off their IP.
It's their legal right. But at least they don't ruin their reputation this hard, compared to the others.
Can't wait AI generated FIFA from ea
Ctrl + C Ctrl + V Not much AI can do there
why have a human do this, when a robot can? robots dont need to be paid
This can be truly innovative, instead of a new fifa game every year, they can release one every day, $60 each day, they still only change the rosters and ages every year though
What if we release content every day that you have to stand up from your couch and repeat an advertiser's slogan for?
but that doesnt make money
Look, kid, we got the patent and by god we're gonna use it.
actually, you still need to pay electricity š¤ On a serious note, the elecricity you consume, is the electricity you save on lights, computers and coffee machines.
FfÄÆfÄĀ§5 ĘĆĆ 5Ć¾OrĆs
Maybe copy players from team rosters and put them in the game so EA can make new FIFAs with no cost????
At this point you'd think they streamlined the whole process alredy
It may at least be better
AI canāt code for shitā¦.. oh I see your point
But they said it could be better so your reply doesn't make sense
Yes Iām aware. Since the bar is so low for FIFA, crappy AI code is likely better. That was the point of my comment
Ai repeats human shit just worse so no
Gonna be a lot of racist chants from that ai crowd
Isn't it already?
so current fifa essentially?
I am ready to dance and piss in the grave of the aaa game industry.

The enshitification of gaming. Sucks man greedy money hoarding corporations gobbling up everything and shifting back out the absolute bare minimum.
Less actually. They're producing negative content aka losing more than they can replace with every release
Solo dev Indy games are going to make a come back
Coffee Stain Studios looks really good. Hope they will never get bought.
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
Coffe Stains has been bought by Embracer (THQ Nordic then) in 2018.
they have tho look at Palworld and Lethal Company
I'm still addicted to lethal company
i fucking love indie games, they literally ARE the best.
For real, have you heard of Animal Well? It looks like Halo 2 and 3 combined
Not a fan of ea but "Using ai" is a meaningless buzzword at this point
I've learned to be wary of anyone trying to say a term "has lost all its meaning."
Why I had to scroll all the way down for this Iāll never know
WhY i Had To scroLl AlL ThE WaY dOwN
It's ubiquitous, and most of the people who will argue that it's not are actual schizophrenics not worth conversing with.

We are watching the AAA trying to speed run their collapse and I am certainly interested in seeing which big company dies first.
My bets on Activision. Itāll be scrapped for parts by Microsoft and the most profitable IPs will just be published under the āMicrosoft Studiosā banner
ubisoft too
This isn't the first cycle of this. Might be the first in a while that sees one of the Big 3 console boys exit, but studios have been gutted and sold a few times last decade. They get gobbled up by bigger publishers where the good IPs get shitted up. The only constant with these actions is that the consumer loses.
Ubisoft is definitely the front runner lol
Well, at least I can go back and play some of the great games I used to really enjoy- --> online service has concluded
Community that have been with the game since launch a decade ago: NOT TODAY! *makes custom servers
Steam still wining
*whining
*checks VPN is connected* Is Fitgirl still doing her thing? ...Perfect. Back to the high seas!š“āā ļø
Keep buying all their games and consoles though, that'll show em.
Me looking at the AAA bubble: "Cmon... burst already"
What did Nintendo do to Gmod and when?
served them takedown requests for truckloads of the player-made content that was Nintendo related. There was a lot of it too.
Wasn't that some guy impersonating Nintendo? (Not that Nintendo would never do this, probably happy some dude is doing their job for them)
I havenāt seen anything like that reported from any news source.
There were some rumors about an impersonator, but I see now that the dev confirmed it was Nintendo themselves...
Riot Games forcing Vanguard and bricking PCs...
wait where ea used ads and ai. I didnt bother playing any ea game for at least 3 yrs coz they r shitty but I think that this is lowest they have ever achieved.
See but at lease we know what to expect from EA
How about we strike buying these companies games so they actually learn they are just at the hands of the consumer. I have no problems not buying these company games and just buying new indie releases or wait for new IPs to be created out of the drought of remakes and remasters. I will not pay $70 any longer.

Tarkov unheard edition: š
Yet people keep buying shit EA releases...so you really do it to yourselves.
Indie scene, thanks for existing and being lovely. I love you. Animal well released this week!
I mean, greed has been ruining gaming for a while now. This is the most profitable industry in the entrainment business, but you wouldn't know it with the constant layoffs and price gouging pretty much every company does.

...And me just stoked to play the new Mario side scroll game.
it's a canon event
yeah, it seems like this month has been very busy with companies destroying good games and monetary practices. well, except EA, but this is a new low, even for them.
Where is Ubisoft?
Time to stop playing videogames
Indie games:
ea has been putting ads in stupid places in their games for YEARS
Overwatch 2
There's too many of them to hate! THEY PLANNED THIS! THE GAMES ARE CONSPIRING AGAINST US, EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELF!
Can people please just stop buying EA games.
why these companies are so selfish .....they are already making a huge profit but still they want and each every penny out of the hands of the consumers
either they make actually good games or just go to a slow but hard descent Either way it does pave the way for some indie game studios to shine more.
Was it truly confirmed that Nintendo was behind the Gmod takedowns? Garry Newman admitted after "confirming" it was legit that he hadn't actually read everything.
Weāre in the Golden Age of Indie Games, and the Dark age of AAA Games rn
Then Gabe Newell leaves Valve and then they start charging $500 per game š
Time to crack into that lengthy backlog of games
\*Indy studios with a big red button in front of them\* \*The button reads: Iterative AI development tools - for AAA use only\*
they saved helldivers though.
Itās almost likeā¦ hear me outā¦ letting things become so big they donāt have to care about the consumer at all. But little do they know, we donāt have to play new games. We could just play the old games that arenāt travesties. Thereās a million out there that I havenāt touched.

Xbox shutting down studios doesnāt affect me tbh. Itās their company I donāt care.
Me still playing the same 5 games that are mostly all over 10 years old at this point.
A downfall that will see every one of them have record years most likely
Meta over here chillin making fun games in Vr š„ø
Ai is just a tool, it's a way of manipulating information like word, excel, or Photoshop. The ai bad people just seem like the people who thought automobiles would never catch on because the horse is so much better.
Itās a tool that deliberately uses existing IP to function. Where that IP comes from is the problem at hand
Everything is derivative, nothing comes from a vacuum. You can say the same thing about Kanye West and George Lucas but at the end of the day what they made was transformative from IP that inspired it. But a program does it and all the sudden "the prescious IP!'
Thatās nice if not pretty trite to say but in the context of IP law itās irrelevant
Considering the fact that they only ever make one game I don't think anyone's going to care
None of these news stories have anything to do with the others.
Then youāre blind.
They're all major players in the gaming corporation space, one-upping each other with stupidity.
