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

[–] ZoDoneRightNow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 14 hours ago

To be fair to him, his AI can probably make a better game than he ever could himself

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 19 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

When he finds out XboX is taken....he is going to be SO MAD

[–] Denalduh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

You know he's the type that would go full xXx_Xbox_xXx

[–] Knightfox@lemmy.one 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that's going to be some grade A cringe.

He will drift the fanboys out of AAAA money too

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 21 hours ago

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.

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!

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 points 21 hours ago

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.

[–] Cerbero@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Is he playing it or paying someone to play it.

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

If devs thought the crunch was bad before….

[–] ansiz@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lychee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 56 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

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

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

We might get a new entry for the "Worst of all Time" award

[–] heroheman@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Now that he is first lady, you won't get away from him.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 37 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

If he wasn't such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I used to love dreaming about near future space travel.

[–] zaft@lemmy.world 73 points 2 days ago

My god he’s insufferable

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 157 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.

The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.

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.

[–] hank_the_tank66@lemmy.world 74 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The people pushing AI don't care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.

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.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (12 children)

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.

I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.

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.
