the endless machinations of business that we don't really see until they suddenly affect people and we're like what's going on but you know while i don't want to give people in charge too much credit because they often make very bad decisions um it does seem like there's a method to the madness here at least in their minds again we'll see how it plays out we'll see how it plays out have you been playing some marvel rivals what do you think of the game so far

um i have not played a ton of it unfortunately if only because i was a big time overwatch person back in the day okay and i burnt out on that pretty hard and so any game that looks even kind of like overwatch because i know i know that marvel rivals is a is a different game um and it definitely has its own personality and it seems really cool um but i'm like do i want to go back to that place do i want to return to that headspace

Maybe not yet, but I'm going to check it out eventually. Right now I'm playing a fuck ton of Avowed, and I just can't stop playing that. There you go.

Yeah, I agree with most people in chat. It's garbage. It's not... I mean, half the stuff that he talked about is... Or like that Phil Spencer talked about, it's totally hypothetical. And like, how will this aid in game preservation? I mean, for one, if you want to preserve a game, you need to actually like... There's so much to a game's original platform and original code and all of this stuff.

And replicating it in this really half-baked way where AI gets all this stuff wrong, because it always gets things wrong, is a terrible way to approach preservation. That's not preservation. It's making a new, worse version of something. And then beyond that...

You know, what makes games interesting and good is that they're made by people, not by machines that are analyzing games that already exist to, again, make something that's, like, new and worse and doesn't even understand the point of the original thing that it's copying because, A, I can't understand anything. It just copies. I just, like...

I think that a lot of these companies are doing this right now because investors like the word AI. And so then they'll put more money into various companies. But AI is just not really proven to be useful in these contexts beyond like very narrow applications behind the scenes in game development.

And even then more for organizational purposes than like generating a world so that you can then build on that.

to create a larger game um it just i mean if you want like a demonstration of this by the way of other companies trying to do something similar to what microsoft is talking about here um ea put out a tech demo like last year where they were using their own version of an engine like this and it's in this setting full of like boxes like cardboard boxes make up their proposed game world

And then they like, you know, make the box level more complex. They're like, make it bigger, bigger. And I'm like, anyway, it looks very bad. I just, I think this is a dead end for companies and I think they'll realize it in a few years. But until then, we just have to ride this out.
