I’m all about new players in the market, but I have low expectations. If he lets the creatives cook, it could be good. But I have a feeling this is going to be an AI driven mess with Musk grabbing the wheel whenever he gets bored. Hopefully I’m pleasantly surprised in a few years.

He's a gamer himself so this has some potential depending on the leash he gives the company

AI game studio? This will be a steaming pile of shite, if it comes to fruition.

He tweeted about beating Halo Infinite’s campaign and my first thought was “how the frick do you have time to play that through?”

The dude definitely plays his fair share of stuff

Earlier this month he was talking about being a top ranked Diablo 4 player in the world. I thought the same thing when I heard him say that. I thought you would need to be spending a lot of time playing D4 to move that high in the ranks

Unless D4 trading has changed, you can just buy the best gear possible.

Yeah he's a beast at Diablo. Has streamed quite a few times on X doing the highest level dungeons with friends.

1. That ship has sailed, Wizards/Hasbro has done enough damage
2. D&D just isn't a good investment. Wizards tried but you can't really monetize TTRPGs these days. Someone can be an avid D&D'er and never use an official product and you can't exactly trademark imagnations

I just actually looked at this for the first time and noticed that he was a fricking fat rolling double shielded turtle caster with nonsensical stats. Lame

i’m still trying to get why he’s upset about D&D.

Once you start playin you can determine anything you want.

I know the hardcore D&D gamers wish it was crunchier with the mechanics, but I dont get being mad about it being “woke” or even how it’s woke.

I'm hopeful but it's pretty damn ironic for the guy that owns 2 of the biggest corporations in America to say too many game studios are owned by massive corporations so he's gonna start one lol

wouldn't that just be another game studio owned by a massive corporation.

ah well, more competition almost always benefits the consumer unless he starts buying up studios like FromSoftware and forcing exclusive licenses

he probably read that article claiming it went woke when they made a change from everything being half-human to where you could be half any race. i remember it being some big arse misunderstanding controversy

AI is still pretty far off from making decent games. It'll be fine for certain mechanical needs, but writing a coherent story long enough for a AAA game is way off in the distance.

How can you look at the progress made in the last couple of years and say something like it's way off in the distance. It's on an almost exponential growth curve.
