    That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

    I am afraid that it actually can sell… botting already is happening in a lot of games to farm ressources and sell them for RL moneys. Right now this goes against most games ToS, but if this is a ‘legal’ way of doing things with less risk, it could be viable for some people…

    Not that I condone any of this, but ressource markets in games will be heavily cornered then.

    Let’s skip the playing part. Let the customers pay and directly see their playthrough results and achievements.

    All the big companies crank out a dozen patents every day, that cover everything under the sun, just in case they ever have to engage with each other in patent warfare. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same.

    Somehow we never hear about the vast majority of these patents.

    I was starting to write a sarcastic comment about the future of Xbox being just the customer paying for a game and then watching the computer play it for them, but yeah that could totally happen.

        I think those games that are made to be boring and absurdly grindy and then offer you to pay to skip the boring parts are even worse. And they’re not limited to phone, too.

        “Pay to not play”, when we ensure our gameplay loop is so bad that you literally think your time spent in it has negative value.

      This is like 3 degrees from every kid now who just watches streamers play a game instead of actually playing it.

      And yes, I get that some of this is due to them being lonely. Which is another societal issue. Its fucked up man.

    Of course. Why would I want to play games?

    I can’t wait until AI can pet my dog and fuck my wife for me.

      At his speech in Davos the fuckwit known as Elon Musk was talking about how in the future everybody will have or wants to have their own personal AI robot that is taking care of their elderly or children for them. Or taking care of their pets. Like, the clankers are already overtaking the wrong tasks. Now just take human interaction out of everything please so I can finally fulfill my dream of being fulltime obedient work cattle. /s just in case

        Please master Elon, I desperately want to free myself from the shackles of genuine human connection. I desire the cold embrace of steel and servitude.

    Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:

    AI doing all the fun stuff like art and games and humans get to do the hard work like fixing AI mistakes, fighting wars, and working until we die

    What’s going to be their next trick? Launching a service that’ll watch the latest Netflix series for me and give me a summary when it’s done?

      Wait until Mircrosoft finds out you can watch playthrough videos on YouTube without having to buy the game.

    Used to be that patents were bad for innovation, like loading screen mini games or the nemesis system from the Mordor games. These days patents tend to be crap where I’m happy it’s patented so others (hopefully) won’t do that shit.

    Why don’t you just fucking kill me, and replace me with an AI copy of myself. What a dumb fucking world these companies are pushing for.

    Well at least someone will play the video games while I’m working my 80 hour work weeks!
