imagine they'd hired an artist to make said loading screen and paid them for it.

i know, its unimaginable

[Redgrave]

That's the most disgusting idea I've ever seen, probably ever will see. The audacity to even say it aloud!

How about some good ideas like $0.99 in-game reload monetization or instant killstreak monetization?

As long as there is a quick buy option for the weapon that killed me in game is there…
Then I would realize Microsoft is focused on gaming for their 60+ billion dollar purchase of Activision will be for the good of gaming.
:/

What also puzzles me is how this passed quality checks, that might be even more disconcerting for other matters.

[Knushwood Butt]

It was QAd by AI.

Biggest mystery in gaming solved.

A few months late, eh?

MS showing zero respect to the tallent, what a suprise.

MS is creativly bankrupt and a big pusher of AI destroying jobs for a better cut for the shareholders. Now MS owns so many IP's expect to see a lot of peoples work being used by AI long after the creator was fired.
Decades of IP's created by skilled devs and artists being churned up by MS's AI and a souless husk being puked out.

The boogeyman Microsoft strikes again.
If you dont like what they're offering dont buy it. No need to make a mountain out of a mole hill. At least not yet.😆Last time I checked Sony has laid off people,canceled games and bought studios. But i guess the rules seem to be different when they do it. Just keep that same energy when you find out this AI stuff is used across the industry.
And why people act like Sony isn't in this for the money too. Just because Microsoft is more cash rich doesn't mean Sony is more generous. I don't see anyone giving anything for free. When they give a free PS5 pro for free please come back and let us know.

Microsoft definitely aren't angels and deserved to be criticised at times. They do screw up every now and then but now they are delivering the games. People said that was one of their biggest weakness. The games are coming now. So we move the goal post. 🤔 People are still gonna buy COD regardless. AI or not.

Sony revealed back in 2023 that their studios were using machine learing and AI in games. Now what you think about that?

[InUrFoxHole]

Oh no buddy. Don't feed the troll. MS could actually make his parents love him and he would still complain that it took them long enough. Don't feed the trolls. Or feed them but don't expect logic or objectivity

[MrDead]

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset your idol kid.

Your obsession over your favourite toy blind's you and your hate for anyone who criticises it sends you into a multi-paragraph rage.

As for your weird obsession with Sony and trying to force them into every MS article their comments from 2 months ago saying "People not AI will make games" seems to slipped by you

MS are in the wrong here, deal with it kid.

This is why many of us didn’t want MS acquiring a lot of studios. They are not known for their game making skills or creativity but they are known for focusing on money and business first tactics which doesn’t bode well for good games.

[raWfodog]

Even Bobby Kotick called them out for their lack of (void of) creativity, but they shut him up with a fat check lol.

[Reaper22_]

If that's the case then explain why Sony is dipping into the gaas model. And whay are so.e of their ps4 games only available through a subscription?

It may be true for some that the reason they didn't want Microsoft aquireing a lot of studios. But not all. There are some that want to see them fail at everything because it's not their preferred gaming platform. That's really what it's about.

I have no problem with smaller indie devs doing this. But Activision? Come on man
