      I’m pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

      If he wasn’t such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.

    Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

    It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you’ll just get hot garbage out.

      I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.

          He stands to gain more through his political influence than he has lost with Twitter, and the latter arguably helped him get the former. By itself, his acquisition of Twitter is and will remain a loss; in the grand scheme of things, though, it was a sort of investment that is likely to pay off handsomely. If he’s learnt anything, it’s that the United States have devolved into a plutocracy that capital can steer off the common interest of their citizens and the common good.

        Thing is, he has a big enough bankroll to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. 100Mil for a triple-A game is effectively pocket change when you’re worth a couple hundred billion. He’ll keep trying until he gets bored or stumbles onto the next Fortnite out of sheer luck.

    I can’t wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it’s ass, and then claim the only people that don’t like it are the woke mob that kills art.

    On the bright side there’s about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry’s seen plenty of attempts already

    And if it’s good then ill just pirate it :3

    Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn’t guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

        Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

        I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his “vision” to life.

          Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.

            Art is inherently political.

            For example, do you think Gordon Freeman would be a Trump voter?

            Or the entire Bioshock franchise? That entire story is a big political message.

        EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

        Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

        Looks like money spoils people.

          Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

            Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.

      I’m not going to look, but I’m willing to bet, there’s already a “games” studio called X Studios… and they make porno games.

      He probably already has every title. And so do the neckbeards that worship him.

        He’s angry he doesn’t own culture. He’s trying to buy the ability to control culture. And to a certain extent I imagine that he’s angry that American pop culture has long flowed from groups he’s bigoted towards.

    This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

    Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

    Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

    so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to ‘make games great again’

    Oh whew. He’s got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

    This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.
