Stop typing up that misogynist manifesto and scouting crowded public spaces. Instead, become the hero you wish you were and do us all a fucking favour. I will personally ensure you have the fattest commissary in history for the duration of your life sentence.

Musk and Trump are jamboys for the Fascists.

They are there solely to draw attention.

Fine, make games for Nazis, nobody cares. When it fails completely you can whine about the big mean world being mean to you then buy the next president and make them fund your losses from being trash-tier. Also, every maga will buy them like obedient sheep, so you will get a few million guaranteed sales.

Can't wait to see how many titles he can come up with that have X in them before he has to branch out (if the company lasts that long).

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.

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.

Is he playing it or paying someone to play it.

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.

If devs thought the crunch was bad before….

Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it's going to be years from now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I think how he works is that he will buy out a studio with an almost finished game, and reskin it to help him with gaining more power in the USA .

It will be out in a few months, and he will claim credit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Well that's another way to burn a few more billion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Can he get gvmnt to fund this endeavour? Most times such ideas mean siphoning money and not releasing anything and he is bro-bro with Trump.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

Elon musk and Mel Gibson team up to form a new non woke game studio.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I guarantee his games will star him and push his agenda into poorly written stories.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's going to be 50% pot and "69" jokes.

Yeah good luck with THAT one, Elon. Just another company for you to run into the ground.

A certain type of goateed chungus will take as an article of faith that this is a revolution in gaming, preorder multiple copies of these games and send death threats to anyone who suggests that they’re not great.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's a great short-term idea to possibly break stagnation in the industry, but it is ultimately ironic and therefore the expected evolution is likely.

I'd believe his words a bit more if he through backing toward indie studios with minimal strings attached. But, he will instead—probably quickly—become part of the same old problem we already have.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Guarantee you his games will be shit.
