    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

        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.

          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.

      But… it is*?

    He really is Schrödinger’s oligarch, both the richest man alive but somehow also a revolutionary fighting against the “system”. Or in other words, he thinks he’s Neo while literally building the Matrix (Neuralink+AI).

    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.
