Musk says he’s going to launch an “AI game studio” at his xAI startup.
Doesn’t he know Epic Games studio already exists? The market for grand-standing self-righteous game-makers is pretty tapped at this point.
They might actually get along. The CEOs of both happen to be hypocritical asswipes who think providing a worse product and complaining about competition will give them the monopoly they’re pretending to not want.
Musk should buy Bethesda. Gut it like he gutted Twitter. Start development on something random – the Elder Scrolls VI: Kingdom of Doge.
When it comes out, it will be a horrible, poorly made mess. Just like a regular Bethesda game but extra enshittified. He can charge extra for it to make it seem super premium.
People will eat it up.
Worked for Tesla.
God, that’s how you end up with Skyrim, but with endless AI generated quests with NO continuity or sense whatsoever.
I mean… daggerfall kinda did that.
If these people even knew what “Great” looked like they would shut the fuck up, step the fuck back, and let it happen without their shitty input.
I’m sure he’ll do it right after launching Hyperloop
He should make a meta verse. I still won’t buy it, but having 2 of them completely fall flat because a billionaire thought they knew what entertainment was would almost be as funny as that time Sony re-released Morbius in theaters.
AI slop coming to ruin your favorite IPs in the very near future.
Then let’s get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them “woke libs” /s
Saving Private Gunther
Forget what these folks say; it’s all an excuse to start companies that can be awarded no-bid contracts from the government they “want to dismantle”
So the next greatest game will just be “around the corner” and “nearly complete” every year for decades then?
Don’t forget, he knows more about
manufacturinggame development than anyone currently alive on earth.Cyberdaikatana
I mean, it sounds like he might’ve found the industry that really matches his way of
notworking.Him and Todd Howard would get along
…wait, actually this has the potential to be amazing! I remember the early days of online gaming, and gamers for the most part were some of the most welcoming and friendly people I’ve ever been around.
Something changed, and ‘gamer’ became a toxic word, and all but niche gaming communities kinda went to shit.
If Elon makes some cringe-ass MMO or something, it will act as a sponge to soak up all the toxic assholes from other gaming communities.
Do it.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….
The “yes I’m 110% a Nazi in case every other time I told you I’m a Nazi didn’t come through” font.
I mean, sure, go ahead.
It’s one of the most benign things he does and it’s not like it’s gonna affect existing good game.
mgga?
mgga please. that shits dumb af.
The good thing about this is that all his money can’t buy a good result. Each game has to stand on its own two feet. If it costs millions to make, and still sucks, it will sink without a trace.
Good thing I’ve always wondered “what if someone did an Activision, but worse?”
