Another trainwreck in slow motion. Step one: Force devs to use more A.I. Step two: Be delayed because the tech isn't working well and you fired everyone it replaced. Step three: Get shuttered because you used A.I. and it didn't work. I'm tired...

i'm truly amazed at how efficient fortnite has become at being both a money printer and a money burner. this should not be possible and yet

Put your quills down and use biros goddamn you

i'm so curious just how much they've spent on the free games thing. As someone who keeps getting them largely out of spite.

Mmmm waiter more slop please! Mmm yummy roboslop! I simply love when games are terrible and deprived of human creativity! 🥴

Free Games Simulator has my attention and loyalty in a way other games can only dream about.

I now have more games on Epic than I do on Steam (688 v 540). I've *paid* for maybe 5 games on Epic, though maybe 100 of the free games on Epic came via having Amazon/Twitch Prime (they hand out 2-4 per week as well, but using a variety of game storefronts).

And Unity announced this today, too.

The impression I got from when we got actual details of the cut is that it was probably more about laying off anybody who wasn't deemed "ai positive enough". There was no other rhyme or reason to the cuts, peoples in important positions or who were singlehandedly building new features got laid off

Delaying a game to claim you're making the game faster and more efficiently now is the most top down "the boss knows better than all the employees combined cause he's the boss" thing I've read this 5 minutes

I don't think it's "low on cash", it's "greedy for more"

Who can afford to invest into products when sales gotta be made.

They are projected to only make 6,3 billion U.S. dollars in gross revenues and its their beast year so far so ofc they have to save or they will go broke and cant make the payouts to the investors

To be clear, they haven't got money in a long while in general. Nor gameplay. Buuut I still had the smallest bit of hope that maybe they'd turn ship. Chance was pretty negative but alas. This will save me more time and money.

Thank you.

More AI!?!

You don't know the half of it.

Have they made anything good since GoW?

i sinply would have made the kinds of games no AA studios make (and found out why the hard way, romero style)
