God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 1 points 33 minutes ago

Musk and Trump are jamboys for the Fascists.

They are there solely to draw attention.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Oh how i wish he would just shut the ever loving fuck up already. Him and all his little muskrats. Oh what a quiet and peaceful world that would be.

We are doomed. Doomed i say

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

[-] heroheman@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 hours ago

And will end up being banned from steam as a result.

I'm looking forward to it tbh.

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

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).

[-] llama@midwest.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Cities skylines 2 is already out so IMO we don't need more games

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Open world game where you make yourself an Oligarch?

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 25 points 5 hours ago

The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.

What the actual F.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

Microsoft owns most of it

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 4 hours ago

Yes'just jealous he hasn't got a game studio. He wants so badly to be cool.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 21 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 29 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

We're going to be ruled by a split coalition between China, Mexico and Canada. And we'll somehow be better for it.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Well, the parts ruled by Mexico and Canada, at least.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 hours ago

Already consider Texans to be Mexicans so I suppose the red states will follow suit

Would California join more ideologically similar Canada (and double their population)

Join China because of the coast/wealth

Or be returned to Mexico?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 36 points 7 hours ago

I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] zaft@lemmy.world 70 points 9 hours ago

My god he’s insufferable

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 91 points 10 hours ago

God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 28 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] a_postmodern_hat@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago

He and trump are like two wicked and ridiculous Roald Dahl villains. Insufferable, and how. I wish they’d both just fuck off.

[-] ours@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 24 points 9 hours ago

The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 44 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Stadia.

...Is he gonna hire Phil Spencer?

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 26 points 9 hours ago

I bet he's banking on marketing the games as "anti-woke" and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

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.

I bet it will work, too. 😬

Google has failed at games over, and over, and over.

[-] greedytacothief@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] actually@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 40 points 11 hours ago

Fuck off Elon.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 127 points 14 hours ago

Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.

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.

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 11 hours ago

Producing hot garbage is kind of Elon's thing.

[-] hank_the_tank66@lemmy.world 67 points 14 hours ago

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