i thought games were supposed to be projects with heart and soul in it. not some ai slop thing.
we used to be a society where everything was human made, where many people's passions were put into a huge project. ai is just contradicting that. people are their losing jobs man...
FUTURE OF GAMING DEPENDS ON FORTNITE x DISNEY🔴
Epic Games has become the biggest most aggressive user of AI in gaming industry. As Disney mode will heavily use AI to be generated, even down to art or core systems.
Which means:
🔴IF IT FAILS:
There will probably be a major push back on extreme use of AI in building video games, and studios will focus on traditional ways of game creation again
🔴IF IT SUCCEEDS:
Epic Games including every other gaming studio will use this mode as an example to push AI onto every games creation as far as it is possible.
So future of how games are made truly depends on how well Disney x Fortnite goes...
my favourite part of this is that 50k in 3 months and 200k in a year are the same amount of money
Tim's making a really important point here and I think people fundamentally misunderstand it.
Let's paint a scenario. You are an indie developer and you want to make a game.
Traditional game development will take you 1 year and cost you $200,000 in outsourcing costs to buy art, animation, and additional programming resources.
AI assisted game development will take you 3 months and cost you $50,000 in credits + some additional resources.
In a good scenario your game could make $200,000 and break even, but in many scenarios you mortgage your house and no one sees your game and you are out your savings.
Now, with the anti-AI mania, Valve is forcing real economic harm on you because you get the equivalent of hate mobs at your door for your choice of tooling.
Your economic viability is harmed because Valve chooses to put a label on you that generates negative attention. It makes your economics worse.
Anti-AI proponents will point out that this proves their hate campaigns work. The appeal is not to them, because they are morons, but to developers to stand up to Valve and say remove these labels so that we can have livelihoods. And Valve makes money of you either way.
Stand up for your rights, devs!

This is the note you find in an Umbrella lab before you’re attacked by a zombie dog.
JUST IN: Palmer Luckey's genetically modified military dog startup, Warhound, comes out of stealth, aiming to create enhanced canines for the U.S. military.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is NOT Palmer's company at all, his company Anduril is only supplying the tech for the dogs, and this is a wholly owed Collosal entiity

He stood up for mass effect during the peak of a culture war is what he did. He was a brave Canadian video game sex enjoyer. And in this house, Geoff Keighley is a hero. End of story!
