Turns out making games just to please shareholders doesn’t make sales?

The dream of lonely boring tech douches

Mmm stonks is more about shareholders demanding faster returns. This isnt a cut and dry supply and demand thing (markets havent been supply and demand since the stock market started), its shareholder feelings and ai investment shit.

Would love for any of it to have a shred of logic in it, but if games were for gamers and not stockholders IaP wouldn’t exist etc

Highly doubt its about user reception, rather that its more about stonks.

Boooo

Fuck tim, fuck epic

“You guys are harshing my bubble 😠”

Always depends on the lawyers they can afford

Dont buy ubisoft games. They hate their users as much as they hate their employees

“Our stockholders demand more”

News flash: epic was never anyones friend or any type of “good guy”.

Maybe also selling off valuable IP for cheap to do NFTs wasnt an amazing idea i dunno

The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.

These are not the words of a company who didnt know about the ai use. They hired them because they were gonna use ai so it would be cheap to produce, fans were rightfully upset to be fed slop, publisher backpedals so hard they close the studio.

You think if they didnt use ai here they’d do all that? Or would they instead say “we are sorry the quality doesn’t appeal and we will work on it” not this

MS doesnt do “cool”. They have been desperate for years to try to capture it and they never have any idea what cool looks and feels like so their adverts for their shit is always so dorky and uncool.

Also they never support anything long after it comes out because the only vision they have is winning sales

“Why arent people impressed with the inaccurate slop machine that sets the earth ablaze during the hottest years on record, steals everything, and outputs nothing but worse amalgamations of what its ingested? We shoved it into everything…”

Third rate game’s developer says people who already have EAC working on proton are “not serious” uh…

They want your tracking data for AI, so bad. Also they added payments into the browser itself and they really really want you to use that.

I’d love to see someone update the old ones because 2-4 are a blast

The idea is you get small unions joining. Randomly starting a big one is difficult

Same! Windows is so heavy now they are even considering making a leaner gaming edition. Its so silly.

Great. Proton changed everything. My friend uses arch, i use fedora, another friend uses bazzite. I can play everything i want, no issues. Great framerates

Ok! Moved to linux for gaming 2 years ago and havent looked back. Eat shit, MS.

Yessss, i’ve been fulltime linux gaming for a while and this is an excellent change

Oh your live service no one wanted or asked for didn’t pan out ? Cant imagine why

Did they use ai or something?

Not the way ai companies are making them no. They arent aiming for accuracy they are aiming for profit

So krafton gonna fire them all huh?

Gross. Set the earth on fire so you can avoid paying people

Spoiler: no they wont. “Ai” isnt smart and fails at simple shit

“AI” is sparkling autocorrect. Its not smart. Its just manipulation of stats at scale.

I game on fedora (nobara) fulltime and its enjoyable and works great

Now its worth checking out

And why i wont buy denuvo games

Maybe give up on making everything a boring action rpg and stupid fucking NFT ideas no one wants

Because nvidia has been jacking up prices just because. 40xx series is still like $2000, these are gonna be like $2200

Nvidias stock went nuts because they are overcharging for all of this shit because “AI” companies are scrambling for more horse power to generate boring slop and nvidia is ready to tear their wallets new assholes.

They are the worst unless you want to hear that person’s voice.

Oh we do too. Verizon and att make money off of selling the scammers our phone numbers and they wont spend the money to stop it

Spam has destroyed the phonecall. I screen everything and people know to text me first.

Besides its rude to think you can just interrupt someone in the middle of what they are doing without asking via text first anyway.

And i just switched my last windows 10 machine to linux 🫡🖕
