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.
He was always a “lie, lie and lie until you make it” kind of guy, it’s just that in the last couple of years he’s been doing it widely enough and long enough that the real results of enough of his lies came though and enough people started suspecting his words and looking at them more carefully and spotting the lying early.
As the saying goes, “you can deceive some people all of the time or all people some of the time, but you can’t deceive all people all of the time” - and at some point, when he became more widely known, he seems to have gone from the first mode to the second and by now he’s run out of time.
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.
…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.
Talented people fail to make a career in gaming. Idc how many mines his daddy owned, he’s not going to make a good game. Although we should encourage him to do it. Making games would obviously waste the time he uses to harass people.
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.
You play as doge and collect dogecoins to spend on memes. The game is called X and it runs a crypto miner on your gpu when you play it (you get coins in game, Elon gets coins in real life).
You can pay for X premium for $10/month which unlocks cosmetics and lets you access the members-only chatroom
The cosmetics are all unique and non-fungible, and can be resold to other X premium users for real-world money in the form of credit that can be used to buy different tokens cosmetics.
They might actually get along. The CEOs of both happen to be hypocritical asswipes who think providing a worse product and complaining about competition will give them the monopoly they’re pretending to not want.
