Great thread! It’s so difficult to operate this way at companies larger than, say, 50 people.

I was never so excited for a game as I was for Empire Earth. It could never have fulfilled my expectations, but man, the hype was real.

And to tie it back to the main point about unemployment, would more game devs be employed if games cost more? I am not so sure - people might buy fewer games? Same amount of dollars in the system but going to fewer studios/games.

But Wind Waker sold 4.4m Gamecube copies at $50 and Breath of the Wild sold 33m Switch copies at $60. (source: vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/The_Leg...) Doesn't the thinking in this thread ignore the much larger market for video games now that offsets inflation and increased development costs?

I think it needs to be on a new or heavily revised engine. But seems like they have been putting a ton of work and money into it so I'm optimistic

Yeah, it's great to use these LLMs as fancy rubber ducks for topics you yourself are knowledgeable about. This idea of "today I will solve quantum physics with a little help from Grok" is hilarious.

I loved this game so much!

idk, did you see Abu Dhabi 2021?

True! Maybe my joke would have been better if I'd said "corporations and herself"

I thought you were gonna say "corporations and the American people"

I'm slowly switching to physical media/local library again. Buying a couple albums a month until I have enough of a library to cut the streaming cord.

I believe it's C-SPAN

What are they smoking over there?

On MSNBC they said GA counties have to report their early and mail votes between 7 and 8pm. So the opposite.

Looks like it!

This is hilarious and also pathetic
