Maybe you should just watch the video, and the previous one he did on the subject?

4Chan was a thing at least 20 years ago.

but saying that Robert Kurvitz was solely responsible for the game is unfair to the dozens of people who also poured their hearts and souls into the game

I don't think anybody is saying that.

One, that's an unrealistic goal. We can't magically replace all human-driven cars with autopilot, so there's no point in debating in those hypotheticals. Self-driving technology will need to account for human drivers, human passengers, and human pedestrians.

Two, self-driving technology today has been a disaster of bad decisions so far. Just take Waymo and San Fransisco. Protesters can stop the cars with a stupid traffic cone. Emergency services and police over there have been dealing with Waymo cars just sitting there in the middle of the street, or worse, not honoring police blockades. This shit is not ready, and the few "self-driving" cars on the road are a public menace.

Actually, that's not even a fair comparison. Self-driving cars still involves putting people in the hands of an AI that is physically driving a car, putting both the passengers and people on the outside in danger. The mechanics of driving a car are far too complex for an AI right now, and won't be anywhere near "safe" for another 50 years. There are just too many edge cases, too much unpredictable behavior from humans, and roads or road signs that challenge even humans from figuring out.

Human porn involves physically bringing people over to do the act, with all of the human criminality and exploitation that could entail. AI porn removes the human element almost completely. There is nothing to exploit if no humans are physically present.

I'd rather have AI porn that doesn't involve human trafficking, massive exploitation, actors/actresses with a high suicide rate, child abuse, and all of the rest of the evil/bad things that the porn industry currently has.

Well worth checking out the first game. Just, like, maybe get it from a source that isn't going to give the money to ZA/UM.

Magicraft is shaping up to have the fun wand mechanics of Noita, without the insane negative re-enforcement and brutal difficulty.

Business Insider has always written braindead content.

There is hope that some other new company might form from the ashes. Game companies go through cycles of this all the time.

Hell, just look at what happened with Second Wind. Not exactly a game company, but a similar situation.

BG3 took 6 years to develop and because of all of that time spent on enhancing the quality, it was the most-hyped game ever in 2023, winning all of the awards and making a shitton of money. A corporation that is only focused on quarterly profits would never go for long-term planning like that.

The goal is not to check the work deeply and the tilt is to allowing and also trusting the authors.

That sounds like the wrong fucking goals then. I push for detailed code reviews all the time, and encourage my peers to ask questions.
