It wasn't so long ago when an analyst for Activision suggested that the only way for Guitar Hero to remain both successful and economically viable was to purchase video game rivals Rock Band. Activision could have their wish granted as surprising news broke this morning that Harmonix, the creators and makers of Guitar Hero, Rock Band and Dance Central could be sold.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
aw man... that would just hurt competition in the music games department...
As above I agree with you, it would be devastating for Rock Band but I've got it on good authority that they are one of the potential buyers.
Viacom are likely to sell to the highest bid as there are looking to make a quick buck rather than safeguard the future of the franchise.
Hopefully we'll sold to someone else anyway fingers crossed.
