    Too bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren’t old enough to care about how sick that company has become

    Man… Sweeney is starting to go from ‘contemptible’ to ‘pitiable’.

    That is such a desperate and obviously stupid thing to say that I do actuslly just feel sad for him at this point.

    I don’t know what his point is. That we can mass produce slop for the lowest common denominator without needing to pay anyone? I legitimately don’t understand who he thinks he’s talking to! None of the players who would be fine with slop are listening (by definition), and he can talk to his rich buddies without the bad PR. And those are the only two groups who could possibly stand to benefit from what he’s suggesting.

    I like AI or more specifically, LLMs. I find them useful in a mundane sort of way.

    And I can tell you that AI would not have saved Destiny 2, a game that’s been out for nine years, from the poor and greedy decisions made by Bungie and Sony.

    Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership. Nothing more. There was nothing philosophically or technically wrong with the game itself.

      Maybe Sweeney meant that even an LLM would have made better decisions than current leadership? :D

    Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

        I am not a Valve fanboy.

        They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.

          Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.

                Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.

                  A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.

          Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.

            It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.

        You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.

    It’s hilarious watching these rich CEOs try to tow this narrative on their own and failing. LLMs have limited usefulness and we all know it.
