"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

cannot stress that larian is dead in the water despite its goodwill if there isn't a retraction of this ai sentiment. as it stands no shot im gonna be buying that lmao
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’
‘I think this one is going to be way better’ than ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ Larian CEO Vincke says

man everything i hear about e33 is nothing but glowing praise and makes me wanna play it so it does make me feel crazy that it feels so ruined for me after they were found using gen ai for a few textures. in part because they didn't really say anything about it being a mistake or whatever
I would say that E33 is nearly universally appealing to anyone that enjoys videogames as a medium to almost any degree.
@patstaresat.bsky.social I completely bounced off Baldur's Gate 3 and never fully understood the hype.
Would you say that E33 is appealing to people who don't play a lot of RPGs? I'm very interested in the story, but unsure if I will vibe with the gameplay.

anthropic scraping libgen is a billion dollar industry taking advantage of a public good for personal gain. if some dipshit puts an entire library book through a copier and sells printouts, it is the dipshit you get mad at. not the library for giving him the book.

rather than handwringing endlessly about individual piracy (something that will never go away) and the fallacy of the lost sale, that energy should be directed at pushing pubs to get that shit simulpubbed in good quality by human translators and widely accessible

Exhibit 39347282 for why software patents are a fundamentally flawed concept that straight up should not exist
They are the literal cancer of the software world, and Nintendo is a big offender in this space with loads of absolute crockshit patents for stuff done million times by others before them

This makes me dislike Nintendo so much more.
They've apparently got a patent on the CONCEPT of flying creatures being able to carry you places, and are enforcing it, among many other things that absolutely should not be legally ownable ideas.

Palworld developer Pocketpair has confirmed it patched out significant features it claims were forced by the ongoing lawsuit from Nintendo.

If I can pay off my debt early and secure enough operating funds for the company, I’d love to get started right away.
But right now, we’re still on the brink of going under.

If The Hundred Line turns out successfully profitable and rescues TooKyo Games from its indebtedness. How long would it take to port the game to other gaming platforms? If possible? Added, what length of time will foreign-language users have to wait for translation and localization, if possible too?

I've actually decided gacha games are no longer haha funny waifus and should be legislated out of existence
[Automaton] Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses.
