Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.
They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.
And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.

- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

I am big into Metroid, and co-sign this 100%
My hot take about Metroid is that I'm not big into Metroid but I don't think you should ever hear a single human voice or see a single human face during the course of those games unless you 101%'d it, and then you get to see Samus's newest gorgeous visage say "congratulations, gamer" at the camera

"Moderation is inherently fascistic." God, I remember being that young and clueless. Fuck I was dumb.
Over the last 30 years, I've watched so many useful forums, IRC channels, games, social networks, etc, get ruined by Nazis, pedos, and general psychos.
Moderation is essential.

Had a boss once who defined a ‘griefer’ as a customer whose toxic behavior costs you more money than he gives you. Once you use this lens the business case is clear.

Having worked in community management, it's also crucial that the powers-that-be approve of your doing this and that they won't have a fit over you driving away a "paying customer" (who also happens to be a massive jerk).

"There is an extreme amount of AI artwork used within the base version of the game, despite the fact that last year’s Black Ops 6 made over $1 billion in its first 10 days on sale—the highest-grossing CoD game ever."

Shame needs to make a roaring comeback. Not just shame, but "you have dishonored me/my family/my little dog" posturing followed by aggressive immediate teeth-inna-gutter consequences.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The OG Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time, but it’s regrettable that the Prime games after 2 have gotten progressively more invested in being pro-Galactic Federation, when the mainline games have always been super wary of making that distinction.
