ampersandrew, do games w Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot

What a bunch of scumbags.

inclementimmigrant,

Yeah, the Blizzard a lot of us grew up with is truly dead and gone.

massive_bereavement,

Ioughttamow,

Me not that kind of orc

thebigslime,

Something need doing?

Anticorp,

Awe, more work?

Lost_My_Mind,

I can see my house!

Klear,

I wish I had a weapon!

Mereo,

People do not understand that company name means nothing. The OG people who were the heart and soul of Blizzard are long gone. Blizzard is just a name now.

echodot,

Absolutely but companies can retain the culture they were originally set up under if they actively work to do that.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Which Blizzard hasn’t done

intensely_human,

Orcs and Humans were put into direct conflict by the opening of a portal by evil wizards. To fight for their homeland doesn’t make them scumbags, just brave fighters doing their best to follow orders, stand in the right places at the right times, and chop down whatever stands between them and safety.

Ah yes, gaming. That one industry you can’t really fake past a certain point or everyone will boycott, call it boring or go on strike?

Perfect. Good decisions. Waste as much money as possible. I hope Ubisoft is in on it. Take as many shit-for-brains publishers and devs as you can gather. They forget half of the industry is wearing knee-high socks and cat ears. Propaganda games will go over like trying to sell kale to a shark.

AI slop coming to ruin your favorite IPs in the very near future.

Cannot wait for him to start putting out soon to be classic titles like “Ethnic Cleansing”, “Concentration Camp Simulator”, and “Deportation Station” to counter the woke libtards.

Then let’s get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them “woke libs” /s

How about we hang that fuckwad in a public forum instead?

I’ll be missed if elon starts pumping out good games. I don’t count on it but looking at the market it’s not impossible.

GoodEye8,

Releasing even bad games is already a feat. Considering how Musk doesn’t know how to run a web development company I would be surprised if his “game studio” releases anything. The only way that company releases anything is if Musk won’t be involved, and we know the “expert at everything” will be involved.

I mean he already said the word AI which means he is going to likely favor output volume over the love indie devs and old companies poured into their games. So chances are very slim. Knowing him, I guess the game will be about some genius who tries to save the world and go to Mars and be the sole male responsible for repopulation. So yeah, it might turn into a Larry game which takes itself too seriously.

ByteOnBikes,

I loved it when Amazon, Google, and Netflix got into the gaming industry and tried to throw billions of dollars and their startup software expertise to “revolutionize” game studios.

JakenVeina,

He’s made it abundantly clear how much he despises the entire concept of labor, of having to pay money to people to do the things that actually make a company work. He will not be able to build a company that actually makes games with that kind of disdain for the single most important resource required to make them. And his strategy of acquiring an existing company and gutting it afterwards won’t be nearly as effective in the games industry, where you have to be continuously producing NEW content.

shasta,

Really? You think that behavior is any better at the existing game studios? He found an industry that welcomes his behavior

Good thing I’ve always wondered “what if someone did an Activision, but worse?”

The good thing about this is that all his money can’t buy a good result. Each game has to stand on its own two feet. If it costs millions to make, and still sucks, it will sink without a trace.

Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….

b161,

The “yes I’m 110% a Nazi in case every other time I told you I’m a Nazi didn’t come through” font.

Grandwolf319, do gaming w Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

I mean, sure, go ahead.

It’s one of the most benign things he does and it’s not like it’s gonna affect existing good game.

@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world avatar

…wait, actually this has the potential to be amazing! I remember the early days of online gaming, and gamers for the most part were some of the most welcoming and friendly people I’ve ever been around.

Something changed, and ‘gamer’ became a toxic word, and all but niche gaming communities kinda went to shit.

If Elon makes some cringe-ass MMO or something, it will act as a sponge to soak up all the toxic assholes from other gaming communities.

Do it.
