Steam’s AI Generated Content Disclosure states:

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

-Some base textures have been AI generated during the development

-Some of the imagery and speech audio in the in-game TV programs are AI generated

-Some in-game radio music is AI generated

And a post by the developer specifically stating where AI is used.

Here is a specific rundown of the AI used in the game:

-One TV program that has two episodes, around 5min in length each (images and speech is AI, but written, edited and music composed by humans)

-One TV commercial 10sec in lenght

-Paintings on the house walls (same as in MSC)

-Food pictures/textures, around 12 separate pieces

-“Carbon fiber finish” texture, but this is definitely not important so it can be removed :D

-And then maybe half (in minutes) of the music on the radio, generated by AI and lyrics written by humans except for one instrumental song. These can be removed (apart from one song that is part of the game feature), but there is no replacement. Lets just say that without them, the radio experience is… rather interesting.

That’s interesting! I wonder if they are locking down factory installations.

About a month ago I was able to do it with a fresh install of Pro in a VM, I’ll do a quick test and see if it works on Home…and it works too. I had to disconnect the network and then run the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command, it rebooted and gave me the continue without network and limited setup options.

Unless I missed something, the article states as follows

Another method of bypassing the account lockdown still exists. You simply have to enter OOBE\BYPASSNRO in the command prompt during the Windows 11 setup process, which allows you to skip the connection to the Internet and thus also the link to a Microsoft account.

I agree. I am someone who values their privacy and often does not like opt-out style analytics however I also know opt-in skews analytics. The way the searches are only categorized, and they are using Oblivious HTTP keeping IP addresses private makes me A-OK with this.

Yeah, I originally was hoping for a singleplayer mode and realized that it didn’t have any way to reset player progress. Ubisoft needs to realize that MMOs aren’t meant to have sequals so often and are meant to support them for a long time and instead release expansions, look at Runescape, WoW, and Guild Wars 1 for examples.

It has been released as exactly that: https://www.knockoutcity.com/private-server-edition#section-download

Isn’t that what they did? https://www.knockoutcity.com/private-server-edition#section-download

From the article:

There’s one thing, however, that Harrison recommends studios do above all others when sunsetting a live service game: let players keep playing the game on their own servers. Before shutting down Knockout City, Velan released the game as a standalone Windows executable with private server support. It’s still available to download.

So, I just walk into the film studios lobbies(Everyone of them) and ask them for an Ethernet cord, I proceed to connect my NAS to it and download every movie released by that same film studio. I’ve never had an issue from them.

Because, everything on the internet is true, right? Maybe I posted a totally false statement because it sounds good on the area of the internet I posted, or maybe I didn’t make a totally inaccurate and false statement and want everyone to know how amazing it is. The world will never know!

You can still use old.reddit.com

I fixed it for you.
