Microsoft's ad for its Copilot AI chatbot aired at the Super Bowl LVIII yesterday evening included a questionable message for aspiring game developers.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
Oof I think that's a not idea to do because it screams imo less passion in development but hey that's my view.
Microsoft encouraging programmers losing their jobs to the soulless machine.
They're all going to use it in the coming years. To what extent where it eliminates jobs is the question.
I'm not scared of AI or robots. How they are implemented in our society to make things more efficient or better is what's the big deal. And who controls them behind the scenes to influence others. Or built to cause chaos, ruin and death. Because we know there are those that will build AI or robots to do that as well.
But I want to see the positive things that come from using AI to build limitless worlds and stories when it comes to games and VR. Anyone that watches Star Trek can see the Holodeck and the AI that controls it can be for good as an educational tool and entertainment. Or, it can also cause harm or even kill you. But it's how it's used that determines what happens.
But even in Star Trek, they still love the live performance of music, written word, theater plays and art done by human beings.
its more a ploy that programmers lose their jobs
AI will kill creativity. No thanks
