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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
…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.
