From the stories on the subject in recent years, the big hang-up was 007 IP owners EON. Apparently, Microsoft, Rare, and Nintendo all had handshake deals for GoldenEye ports as they have a generally good rapport (see: Banjo and Kazooie in Smash), but EON has a hard-and-fast rule where they don’t want to sign off on…

You sure about that? Had Arkane not been acquired by Bethesda, do you think they’d still have made Dishonored, Prey and Deathloop? Had Tango Gameworks not been acquired, do you think they’d still have made The Evil Within, Ghostwire Tokyo or Hi-Fi Rush?

If you think sales of a game have no impact on developers livelihood or continued employment then you're an idiot. The whole "well they were already paid to develop it" argument is such trash. If you got fired tomorrow I'm sure you'd be okay with it because you got your paycheck for last week.

And you’re kind of deluded if you think buying or not buying this game makes any meaningful impact on JK Rowling’s finances or bigotry. Not to mention you’re also deluded if you think this game was the sole product of JK Rowling. Go donate to Mermaids if you actually want to do something that makes a difference.

This is the same school that has a house for smart people, a house for brave people, a house for hard workers and otherwise leftovers. And a house for evil conniving dipshits.

The biggest unforgivable curse:

I mean he’s literally called Sting. 

That’s not true. Kotaku user AnimaniacSpirits believes every word of it!

Does any company on the planet pay people to do nothing?

2v2 allows for some interesting moments for sure but even if it didn’t have it’s implementation issues I don’t think it was a good idea to begin with. I think part of why Warzone 1 was so popular was that a lot of it’s design found a way to keep the randomness of BR games that keeps things interesting while also…

Fully agree, top tier VA. This critique of his performance is equivalent to saying Christopher Judge was one note as Kratos after only watching the opening scene of him carrying that log.

Imagine being ok paying full price for a game that then asks you to pay more money to access content that is already in the game.....a game you paid full price for.

It’s because there are so many options for live service gaming that these companies want to induce a measure of FOMO to keep you in their walled garden as opposed to other ones. They’re absolutely not concerned about potential fairness.

There is no such thing as a “new” idea. Everything is derived from something else. There are no directors who have never watched films. No writers who have never read books. No artists who have never viewed the art of others. Everything we create is inspired and informed by previous creations. AI just automates that…

No this is spoken by someone who has clearly never learned a skill or craft. I’ve learned several. I paint, I’ve done woodworking, I play card games competitively. So I’m well fucking aware of how nothing I do is wholly original. The majority of what I’ve learned over the years I’ve learned by copying others. I see a…

“If a human made an exact copy of another human’s drawing”

Glad someone in this comment section has their head screwed on right.

This is always going to be a super problematic argument because what critics of AI art don’t want to admit is that human artists train themselves on vast amounts of copyrighted work with “no consent, no credit, and no compensation”. There are thousands of artists who have learned to ape other artists styles, and based…

last gen?  Its not even last gen.
