    Destiny 2 died BECAUSE of soulless, maligned, pathetic, ignorant, coward, contrived, boring, corrupt, greedy, pussy, dick, anus farts like Sweeney. Epic belongs in the fucking grave.

    What a dog shit take damn

    Even someone who likes AI knows games don’t write themselves.

    I’m really trying to think if his comments are aimed at investors for bringing in new funding and consolidate AI games on his platform but even he should know that just makes him the AI guy people don’t wanna associate with. It’s puzzling that I don’t get the strategy here.

      to think, all this mad scrabbling for AI right as people are galvanizing against it’s outsized costs and complete lack of a useful endgame. Great timing Timmy.

      hey now but what if I want my code to be like

       if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
        shoot()

  func shoot():
         fire(gun):


    func fire(gun):
          if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
                   weapon_activate(gun)

          haha, it’s actually from experience of trying to undo what AI did to my code. And I’m just a casual hobbyist in scripting languages.

          I still have a to-do to unstick how it is using a lambda to set a bool value inside a dict with only one key, when any normal human would just do

            bool_var = my_func()

  def my_func()
       [code goes here]
        if x:
             return true
        else:
              return false

          it’s really been a lesson in how I can’t even use AI to learn, let alone actually produce.

            Lately I’ve been running into this wild thing where… they just cannot fucking understand nested arrays.

            Here, we have an array called points, its made of vec2s, vec2 elements can also be accessed as an array or via vec2.x or vec2.y

            Alright, now, figure out how to compute the distance from the last point in the points array to the first point.

            … and it will give me something like:

            points - points

            … and then I headdesk and explain to it what i just said.

            and it will go oh!

            points - points is incorrect!

            points - points is the corrected version!

            … and then i will tell it those are literally the same thing and cannot possibly be both correct and incorrect simultaneously.

            … and then it will either actually crash, or basicslly say ‘yep, sorry, im stupid’… and then crash.

            … fucking what? This is what Ford has been using to make all their software with the last year?

            God fucking damnit.

            They really must have actually scaled them back in some way, to just stupider models… 6 months ago… they could handle that no problem, and get tripped up on legitimately more complex things.

            … oh well, im never gonna directly pay for any of this shit anyway.

    Ugh, once again Tim Sweeney is being not only disingenuous, but also letting shit spill from his mouth. His desperation knows no bounds. If only people would just mock this idiot more.

        You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.

        I am not a Valve fanboy.

        They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.

          Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.

                Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.

                  A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.

          Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.

            It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.

      sure his statement is ridiculous but it doesnt make him dishonest or corrupt

    I tot Destiny 2 died because it’s just repetitive and people moving on. AI adding the same shit will not save anything, but accelerate it.

      The Monument of Triumph update shows that people still WANT to play Destiny. The people in charge were too busy siphoning money away from the game to fund (way too many) other projects, a new building, and cars, just to name a few things.

      Destiny 2 died because the studio was more interested in chasing F2P microtransactions than story content.

      They cut the paid story content so they could go F2P, then the new players had no idea what was going on or how to engage.

      What they SHOULD have done was this:

      Fork Destiny 2 into 2 games, each balanced separately. A) PvE Paid Story Content B) F2P PvP microtransactions.

      Let the same character bounce from one to the other.

        This guy nailed it. I’m one of the players who came back for MoT / bought the everything collection. I’ve been playing through the content after the Europa story, and the game’s quality tanked after Final Shape. Final Shape is GREAT - campaign is fun & interesting, new location has tons of new activities with lots of secret content, and prismatic is a cool new way to build your character.

        But then Edge of Fate comes along, and Bungie very clearly cheaped out and cut all kinds of corners. The story dialogue is nonsense and half of the interactions are literally just text boxes over static characters, Fallout-style. They didn’t even bother to record voice work. The campaign level design to a nose dive where they clearly just decided to throw a billion enemies at you rather than create interesting encounters.

        Renegades is a little better from a writing perspective, but all of the other corner-cutting problems persist.

    In one way, he’s right, but that’s probably not what meant either.

    What he probably thinks: AI could have done most of the creative work for a new expansion.

    What would have actually helped: AI could have helped convert the old expansions and main quest to the new formats used, such that the WHOLE DAMN GAME was actually available to everyone again.

    Oh please do! We certainly need a purge on AAA studios releasing shit. I’m sure if they let the AI make the next cod it will be a triumph. They’ll make a note saying HUGE SUCCESS.

    Well offer PlayStation money for the studio and see if they say yes

    No point telling us until you are in a position to do something
