I think the time has come to divorce ourselves from content that can't have its provenance proven.
Truthfully I rather like the idea of having a small but very heavily documented and curated collection of media than the tidal wave of 'content' we have now.
It may take longer to get stuff but when you have something you can have all of the information about how it was made. Personally I think that would be much more fun.
Yeah, and the word 'content' never sat right with me, either. It describes something that fills a void, not necessarily with any purpose. And being 'content', not having any demands, just accepting whatever you get.
He's the Trump of the video gaming industry
Epic is tripling down with AI features in the next Unreal Engine - it makes sense that he wants to do away with the disclosures. It's not the dumbest business play ever, I'm pretty confident it will help further cement Unreal Engine as the "go-to" for games development (I'm not happy about it though). Don't like the guy, haven't since they dumped UT for Fortnite, almost nothing good has come from the success of that game.
I think ol Tim had a lot of slop in the pipeline and this will force him to delay everything due to quality control so there aren't any six fingers and deformed faces in the background so he won't be able to release a "new" slop game every two months but considering how much of an asshole he is he still might go for it and just take the backlash.
How do EGS’s investors let Tim use Twitter?
If I was at Tencent, Sony or whatever, I’d take his phone away. The sheer toxicity of this one person is, err, unreal, and just shutting him up would eliminate so much drama.
Unless it somehow has changed in recent years Sweeney still owns the majority of the company. Other investors can complain all they want but Sweeney gets the final word and if he wants to continue being the Elon Musk (not the 2020s ketamine fried Musk but the 2010s main character syndrome and savior complex Musk) of gaming he can tell the other investors to suck it.
His games aren't even on Steam. What problems does this guy have? Users should know about Ai usage in the games, and decide themselves if they want it or not. It's not up to Tim to decide. Thank god its not up to Tim to decide.
At this stage of AI advancements and industry adoption, I believe most newly released games that have opted to not disclose the use of AI are lying. And steam's choice of what constitutes AI contributions are misleading, most people don't know that not having an AI disclosure doesn't mean no AI use What-so-ever. As the article states AI code doesn't need to be disclosed, which is the component of the game that has seen the the most migration towards AI.
I don't know what role that AI disclosure plays anymore. especially when steam itself doesn't verify publishers claims. I think it's there just to please steam fans and maintain that cool kid aura.
I don't care if a game is made with AI as long as it's good. I also don't care if there's a disclosure so others can make their own decision. Tim is an idiot.
I'm not sure if constantly talking about your competitor is a sign of strength, but Tim seems to think so.
Kiss my ass, Tim. You probably would have ZZT banned today if you could.
