Topic	Musk:too many giant corps. own game studios, so he wants to...make a game studio

I'm sure the usual suspects will eat this up regardless of whether or not the studio's output is even playable, as they are wont to do whenever they hear anything is "anti-woke" in any capacity, but the rest of us can just keep enjoying the large number of excellent games that keep coming out without having to check a guide beforehand to see if the "anti-woke" authorities say we're allowed to like it. It's funny that most people's reaction to the idea was to suggest he make a publishing company rather than a studio, to support indie and AA games that fit his criteria rather than make games himself. VioletZer0 posted... I recall someone looked into it and it turns out that this has a grain of truth. Not the BEST Diablo IV player but he's in like the top 50 players. He's been known to live stream while playing D4. You'd have to pay me to watch someone play that POS game but according to those that have watched it he's pretty legit. Muscles posted... Why does he want to use AI to make a game? AI should be limited to non creative/not desirable ventures Probably money. Sony wasted upwards of half a billion dollars on Concord and had less than a thousand concurrent players at launch. SW Outlaws cost several hundred million dollars and has just barely cleared a million sales. There have been quite a few AAA game releases lately with sales figures between those two in terms of the spectrum between laughable failure to merely coming well short of making back their budget, but those are the two I know numbers off the top of my head. IIRC someone calculated that SW Outlaws would have had to sell between 6 and 7 million copies to become profitable. For anyone looking at those numbers, there's only two real options. Either make a game that is guaranteed to sell 10 million copies - good luck with that - or find a way to make similar quality games for under 100 million dollars. Short of AI doing a lot of the work, it's hard to see any other way to make a modern AAA game on that budget. --- There are four lights. <cite>willythemailboy posted [p:983143391] in Musk:too m...
