You'll know if you've ever met me in real life. It takes about 5 minutes before I start talking about Rebirth. Not many games have made an impact on me like this Remake series has and I can't wait to experience its conclusion.
@Americansamurai1 Physical is kind of the opposite of psychic, though. Not saying it's not about psychic powers at all, but I don't expect it. Was thinking more along the lines of the human body as an information storage, like DNA.
The year after the massive layoffs grew again by 50%, as Elon realized he fired way too many people. He's been hiring aggressively for the company since.
But even still, Twitter usership has declined since he bought it while other social media grew. Revenue also declined. It's also unclear if Twitter has managed to make a profit ever since.
And finally Twitter's workforce isn't there to keep the product the same. They're there to innovate and grow the company. Epic also doesn't need a staff as big to keep Fortnite going, but to have these big seasons with new content they do.
@get2sammyb The fact that there are people in these comments thinking Push Square is owned by IGN, people in these comments baselessly accusing journalists of taking money for reviews, tells you all you need to know. These people know nothing about gaming journalists and should not be given any position to review them.
I never post in these comments anymore, but for this I make an exception. How dumb is this idea?!
According to him giving grades and reviewing a game negatively, can negatively impact the lives of game developers. Ok, sure. So his solution is to grade and review game reviewers, so it can also absolutely negatively impact their lives as well.
And how would reviewers show restraint? By being more positive about said game? I don't think that works like he thinks it will. How do you reckon an alt-right nutjob is going to review anyone who gives Ghost of Yotei or Veilguard a positive review? It's naive to think reviewers who rated Hogwarts Legacy positively wont' get absolutely review bombed too. People online, a way worse kind of people compared to the reviewers, are going to double down on hating journalists. Would you love to see that, Vincke?
And while we're in the process, let's also absolutely review people who review reviewers as well. I'll start and rate Sven Vincke an 1/10 for absolutely not thinking this through.
@Scottyy I want to put into question how much of a no-brainer AI will be going forward:
1) Right now AI companies are not making money at all. If they don't succeed in making it affordable or if somehow the AI economic bubble bursts in the future, that future might end up being very different. 2) There are still a lot of grey areas with regards to legality, the data an AI is using, privacy, etc.
I can see it becoming more prevalent in many areas of life. But all of them? I'm not sure about that. I read a scientific articles a while ago, that tried to calculate whether usage of AI led to an increase of productivity in different sectors. One big conclusion was that while many people who use AI seem to think it speeds them up, productivity didn't necessarily increase in those companies. It's definitely too early to say what role AI will play.

@Boxmonkey Oh, you're right-wing lol; should've told me. Either you're rich or you just love being lied to.
Re: Iconic Devs Say the Industry Feels 'Crashier' Now Than the Actual Video Game Crash of the 80s
@Boxmonkey Let's unpack that.
The year after the massive layoffs grew again by 50%, as Elon realized he fired way too many people. He's been hiring aggressively for the company since.
But even still, Twitter usership has declined since he bought it while other social media grew. Revenue also declined. It's also unclear if Twitter has managed to make a profit ever since.
