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

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 58 points 6 days ago

Don't worry, he just made a type in "crypto grift studio".

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 123 points 6 days ago (3 children)

God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 38 points 6 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.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

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

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 76 points 6 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.

Producing hot garbage is kind of Elon's thing.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 21 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I want them to do this, produce some absolute slop that nobody plays or wants, lose a colossal sum of money, and forever be an example of what not to do.

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

[–] heroheman@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.

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.

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

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 48 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (8 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.

[–] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 31 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I bet he's banking on marketing the games as "anti-woke" and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

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.

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.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 55 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'm sure the studio will launch by next year, like every Musk product.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago

Full Self Publishing is only two years away, just like it has been for eight years.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 33 points 6 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.

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.

[–] YungOnions@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 days ago

Fuck off Elon.

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 days ago (6 children)

Wait, lemme guess, its called "X Studios" and its totally gonna change the world forever!

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.

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 27 points 6 days ago

The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!

Talking about "non-woke" AI. How's Grok doing? Still hating him like all his other children?

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days 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.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He really is Schrödinger's oligarch, both the richest man alive but somehow also a revolutionary fighting against the "system". Or in other words, he thinks he's Neo while literally building the Matrix (Neuralink+AI).

I'm sure he'll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn't bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.

Let the first AAA woke game bomb.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days 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.

If devs thought the crunch was bad before….

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

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
