I'd love to see him try (and fail)

And that’s basically it!
To be fair to him, his AI can probably make a better game than he ever could himself
From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that's going to be some grade A cringe.
AAAA cringe.
He will drift the fanboys out of AAAA money too
When he finds out XboX is taken....he is going to be SO MAD
His games will fail so hard it isn't funny. The only people who speak positively of his games are his fans who will buy them and play them for only 10 seconds (and never again) before gushing about how cool they are.
Eww, no
All games will include some doge based nft stuff wont they?
You made several hypnotised men cum please be careful
Hey, don't shit on his hobby!
Musk's grift is to portray himself as a some kind of "rebel" against the establishment and elites, as a "good guy", even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.
Isn't this moron still playing Diablo 4? Can't say that gives me much confidence in his greatness. I'd also bet both nuts that his games feature microtransactions as their core mechanic.
The game will cost you 90$ to start, but you need to continually be paying money to play it. He will claim it is an authentic 90s online game because in some places back then, you paid for the internet per minute of use.
Is he playing it or paying someone to play it.
If devs thought the crunch was bad before….
Call his bluff. Get him away from politics and let him spend the next eight years building the next Balan Wonderworld with cameos from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump.
Better yet, let him collab with Peter Molyneux, and Musk will be bankrupt before the game is released.
This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.
Also you will have to shove a camera down your pants so it can verify what gender your character will be assigned.
On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already
And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3
We might get a new entry for the "Worst of all Time" award
Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.
God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.
Now that he is first lady, you won't get away from him.
I used to love dreaming about near future space travel.
The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.
What the actual F.
My god he’s insufferable
Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.
Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations
Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?
so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'
Oh whew. He's got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.
Will it go as well as X AI?
Grok is the laughing stock of the LLM world, and he also completely lied about his promise to make them open source. The latest Qwen release from Alibaba (open, locally runnable weights, tiny, Apache, freaking smart) has rendered his obscene hoard of H100s basically obsolete, with a miniscule fraction of the money.
This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.
Netflix too.
God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.
are you kidding? god, please YES. I can't wait for the inevitably shitty games this studio would shart out. it's gonna be like those anti woke cartoons.
vacuous, cynical rehashing of extremely outdated ideas with zero artistic vision and almost certainly full of stupid references to memes and ancient pop culture? PLEASE LET US HAVE IT NOW
The game will play as primitively as a forgotten shitty early 90s game but somehow need 8gb of hard drive space, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (64GB recommended) and a GeForce 4090 for the minimum settings. It will also look EXACTLY like an early 90s game, with a resolution of 320x240 and not a pixel more! Think God of Thunder but only without the charm, or the fact that it was made by one person, or the fact that the guy put real effort into it. Have a team of thousands who are paid next to nothing to simply train an AI model and call it a day.
Edit: It will also cost 110$ at launch, cost 0.05$ per minute of play (0.10$ in peak hours), and all purchases in the game require actual real life money to be used to buy doge coin which will actually be the only thing you can use.
it's going to be that cryptoisland ad: the game.
The main characters "tag line" it says after a gib is "The cake WAS a lie!" and acts like Duke Nukem, but looks like Elong.
Borderlands 2 but every character is claptrap completely unironically and it contains none of the elements that make it one of fhe great games of all time
I'm trying really hard not to derail the thread by shitting on Borderlands right now
No, this is great. It wastes Musk's money hopefully paying people to make something that wouldn't be otherwise. It doesn't matter if what comes out is garbage. Just don't buy it. More of his money needs to be spent helping, and the government won't do it so the best we can hope for is him just doing it by being a fucking moron.
I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.
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.
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.
