It's kind of interesting that this franchise grew entirely out of the failure of SimCity in the same space. Now they are the ones fumbling their captive market and I wonder if another city builder franchise is going to spring up soon.

Sure. But does the 3D modeller then integrate their changes into DLC format and bundle it to work with the main game and paywall mechanics? It goes both ways. There isn't just a 3D artist making a bug free DLC package on their own.

Sure they make the artwork, but who integrates it? What if bugs occur from that? If content packs could be made by artists alone, everyone would be pumping out content packs constantly.

I understand the energy in these replies, but do you guys seriously think artists are packaging their work as a DLC and integrating it into the main game? There is still a lot of work that goes into any DLC or major integration that has to be done by the same people that fix bugs.

That is usually the case. The smart people do the coding, but the morons do the planning and fail upward as people managers generally do.

Either that or narcissists who get to the very top by shouting over everyone else, so the smart opinions don't get taken onboard.

They were forced to leave because of all the boobies.

You know what there's too much of on the Internet these days? Squares that don't understand sarcasm and tone.

I also blame Twitch. Before there were boobies in the way of my gaming streams, people had to read into the covered up boobies all over the Internet. Now there's just boobies on display everywhere and you don't have to think about anything.

It looks like one of those bundles also includes Ferrystones.

I wouldn't say 100%. Marketing wasn't responsible for releasing on platforms that couldn't actually run the game properly..

I seem to remember Cyberpunk 2077 having a release that was quite far from perfection...

Interesting take. In all of the defences of LLMs using copyrighted material it's very often highlighted that "fair use" allows exactly such summaries of larger texts.

In reality, "fair use" is ruled on a case by case basis, so it's impossible to judge whether something is or not without it going to court.

Is this bot a closed system which is being used for profit? No, you know exactly what its source is (the single article it is condensing) and even has a handy link about how it is open source at the end of every single post.
