He was creeping on underage girls and people had the receipts to prove it. That wasn’t what the legal issues were, though. That was different. It also doesn’t mean he didn’t do it, it means that they don’t have enough evidence to prove it, and since he’s presumably fairly wealthy at this point, he’d have the ammo to…

So if the creative director for say, Diablo IV, turns out to be a complete and utter creep and is fired, then they shouldn’t hire a new creative director and finish the game, but instead just fire everyone at the studio working on it and tell them to find a new job at a different studio?

I mean, it’s still good that the entire production team doesn’t lose their job simply because Roiland is an asshole. They signed contracts for more seasons, so those people planned based on that.

I say ‘buddy’ but he was a work associate. Not really a friend, just someone I was friendly with since I saw him every day at work.

Yeah, if the pirates could have just kept their mouths shut till release day, it probably wouldn’t have been an issue. Back in the day, my VERY strictly anti-piracy buddy was very mad at me because I bought Bioshock for 360 before the street date. Toys R Us was selling them a week early and he said that I should be…

I just wish that demos and shareware or even renting a game were still a ‘thing’. That’s my big problem, especially on the PC. Lots of people had ALL KINDS of problems with Cyberpunk2077. However, lots of people on PC, kinda didn’t. Myself included. But knowing that lots of people had issues, there’s no way to find…

I think they’d get whacked pretty hard if they disabled safety features for it.

Yes and no. For a lot of things, mechanical stuff mostly, those parts are federally mandated to be able to be replaced by anyone. What BMW CAN do, however, is put a warning message saying brakes need to be replaced, even if you did it, because no one has access to reset the mileage countdown for brakes.

Will they do…

I mean, you can only analyze the data you have. If men don’t answer or don’t answer honestly, there’s not much you can do. Also, with THAT said, if you broke it down to type of game and genre, I’m willing to bet that women aren’t in multi player lobbies with voice chat on. They likely get harassed if they do. So they…

BUT NO GIRL I KNOW OWNS ONE!

Sure but ask 1000 people in rural China or in Peru or the Ivory Coast what Lost is, or Battlestar Galactica. I bet you get a sub 10% rate of people who know what it is and sub 2% have ever seen it.

Right now? Yes. I wonder what the legal/liability of ChatGPT output is. Like, is the company responsible for giving you information if something goes wrong and people get hurt?

In fact, I believe they tell you straight up NOT to use any of the ChatGPT output in production level output of any kind, don’t they?

To me it feels like the dawn of voice activated personal assistants back with early Siri and Alexa. People were blown away, but they were mostly terrible. It took 5-8 years+ to get it to where its mostly workable, however, it didn’t become this conversational wunderkind that people expected it to. It’s there, it does…

The thing is that there aren’t many writers at all making that much money. There’s a handful of people who get big bucks and the rest get next to nothing. This is the same for everyone everywhere.

They tried that in Georgia, didn’t they? They weren’t going to vote in the run off or something because they believed it was all a sham anyway? I forget exactly. But they lost.

Did they use a dinglehopper to comb their hair?

*Monetizing anything they can monetize

Most people aren’t good writers, or artists or whatever. It’s cute that people think AI is going to be good enough to replace even the worst ones anytime soon because for every terrible writer that’s employed, theres 1000 worse ones that aren’t. nVidia has a history of pumping things up for investors and press then…

It’s especially bad in restaurants that A) don’t have free wifi and B) have poor cell reception so I can’t load your friggan menu. If you say something, they just bring you a regular one anyway.
