Therefore a good year for everyone

Fuck Activision

They’re glorified autocompletes. Way too much attention is being given to LLMs in isolation. By themselves: Not a silver bullet.

But when called in a chain . . . eyebrows

Cause China spooky noises

Oh no. Not Activision Blizzard! /s

Quit looking at my screen SNOOGGUMS!

ooooo don’t get me started!

The gaming industry is designed to fail in this economy. The objectives of “maximize return” and “make something fun” rarely overlap. Best they can do is trick people into habitual play and hope they can’t distinguish between an occasional dopamine drip and fun.

Games with narratives, no financial gimmicks, and good old-fashioned fun mechanics (subjective) will always get my attention. Fuck EA, Activision, ubisoft, Bethesda. Got too big. Priorities got twisted. I pity the designers and creators with passion there.

I hope they’re all finally free now
