    This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

    Stop typing up that misogynist manifesto and scouting crowded public spaces. Instead, become the hero you wish you were and do us all a fucking favour. I will personally ensure you have the fattest commissary in history for the duration of your life sentence.

    Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

    Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

    so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to ‘make games great again’

    Oh whew. He’s got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

    Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

    It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you’ll just get hot garbage out.

      I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.

          He stands to gain more through his political influence than he has lost with Twitter, and the latter arguably helped him get the former. By itself, his acquisition of Twitter is and will remain a loss; in the grand scheme of things, though, it was a sort of investment that is likely to pay off handsomely. If he’s learnt anything, it’s that the United States have devolved into a plutocracy that capital can steer off the common interest of their citizens and the common good.

        Thing is, he has a big enough bankroll to just keep throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. 100Mil for a triple-A game is effectively pocket change when you’re worth a couple hundred billion. He’ll keep trying until he gets bored or stumbles onto the next Fortnite out of sheer luck.

      not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent

      But… it is*?

      *: From the perspective of upper management and higher.

      The people pushing AI don’t care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.

    This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.

    I’m sure he’ll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn’t bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.

    Let the first AAA woke game bomb.

    Fine, make games for Nazis, nobody cares. When it fails completely you can whine about the big mean world being mean to you then buy the next president and make them fund your losses from being trash-tier. Also, every maga will buy them like obedient sheep, so you will get a few million guaranteed sales.

    Can’t wait to see how many titles he can come up with that have X in them before he has to branch out (if the company lasts that long).

      Him going going utterly insane because he is Tiny* Stark but omniscient should be on the card from now on.

      I’m pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

      If he wasn’t such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.
