this whole xbox thing feels like a true emperors no clothes moment. there is so obviously no plan, anything announced yesterday is overruled tomorrow, that even reporting the facts feels laughably insufficient.

other than call of duty and wow i genuinely think the smart move is to assume that any other xbox game thats more than a year away is never coming out. ‘mass layoffs and activision taking over halo’ just doesn’t describe how disastrous and destructive microsoft’s actions have been

The entire western gaming industry is on its last legs and will probably be wiped out entirely when the AI bubble bursts. Japan and China are gonna dominate this industry for the next 20 years All cause Microsoft just kept buying studio after studio

how would the AI bubble bursting not affect japan when the japanese game companies are using AI just as much if not more than the americans?

Sony isn't exactly blameless here either, MS and Sony have been the grim reapers of this industry for a while now

When I told people this when ms bought everything people told me im just being a dickhead fun ruiner and that ms will treat the workers better.

I don't know what's more terrifying, that they think they can sell $1000 consoles, $100 games that are made by no one except Bobby Kotick typing "Make me a Call of Duty game" into Grok; or the fact that this might actually work.

this is still no example of an acceptable, let alone "good" game being made by AI much in the way there is no example of an AI film that lasts more than 10 seconds before collapsing under its own discontinuity
