Will it go as well as X AI?
Grok is the laughing stock of the LLM world, and he also completely lied about his promise to make them open source. The latest Qwen release from Alibaba (open, locally runnable weights, tiny, Apache, freaking smart) has rendered his obscene hoard of H100s basically obsolete, with a miniscule fraction of the money.
On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already
And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3
Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.
And will end up being banned from steam as a result.
I'm looking forward to it tbh.
The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.
What the actual F.
Yes'just jealous he hasn't got a game studio. He wants so badly to be cool.
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.
Ten years from now, President Musk, the last president of the free united states, signs a document ceding all territory to the new russian empire
We're going to be ruled by a split coalition between China, Mexico and Canada. And we'll somehow be better for it.
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.
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.
I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.
My god he’s insufferable
Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it's going to be years from now.
I think how he works is that he will buy out a studio with an almost finished game, and reskin it to help him with gaining more power in the USA .
It will be out in a few months, and he will claim credit.
He and trump are like two wicked and ridiculous Roald Dahl villains. Insufferable, and how. I wish they’d both just fuck off.
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.
God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.
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.
The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!
Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn't guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.
Stadia.
...Is he gonna hire Phil Spencer?
I bet he's banking on marketing the games as "anti-woke" and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.
I bet it will work, too. 😬
Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.
I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his "vision" to life.
Google has failed at games over, and over, and over.
Or at EA, or Ubisoft
EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?
Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.
Looks like money spoils people.
Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.
Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
Fuck off Elon.
Aww he thinks people like him?
Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.
Don't worry, he just made a type in "crypto grift studio".
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.
Producing hot garbage is kind of Elon's thing.
The people pushing AI don't care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.
I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.
I'm sure he'll just sue people for not buying it like he's trying to do with his other products.
A certain type of goateed chungus will take as an article of faith that this is a revolution in gaming, preorder multiple copies of these games and send death threats to anyone who suggests that they’re not great.
Wait, lemme guess, its called "X Studios" and its totally gonna change the world forever!
And they're going to release a console. Named the X Machine.
Actually, it would be cool if it was the "X Machina"
