Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago

Don't worry, he just made a type in "crypto grift studio".

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 124 points 2 weeks ago

God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 38 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure he thinks that if no one is paying attention to him he ceases to exist.

If he wasn't such a social hazard his pitiful, immature, and downright pathetic personality would make for great satire content.

Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you'll just get hot garbage out.

[-] hank_the_tank66@lemmy.world 74 points 2 weeks ago

The people pushing AI don't care if AI works or not. They will keep making money while the consumers and workers suffer.

Producing hot garbage is kind of Elon's thing.

I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.

My god he’s insufferable

[-] lychee 56 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already

And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3

[-] heroheman@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

And will end up being banned from steam as a result.

I'm looking forward to it tbh.

I'm sure the studio will launch by next year, like every Musk product.

[-] radix@lemmy.world 38 points 2 weeks ago

Full Self Publishing is only two years away, just like it has been for eight years.

Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn't guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

[-] wandermind@sopuli.xyz 30 points 2 weeks ago

I bet he's banking on marketing the games as "anti-woke" and getting the MAGA crowd to buy them to own the libs.

[-] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Its like every week a new episode of black mirror script is coming to life.

I know games as propaganda exist in some shape and form already, but imagine what could a selfish man-child with all the money in the world do to the game industry to bring his "vision" to life.

EA actually got rich making decent games before their (very early!) foray into enshittification. Can you imagine they went 10 years without yearly EA Sports crap?

Similarly, Ubisoft (then Ubi Soft) used to put out pretty good ones.

Looks like money spoils people.

Wait, lemme guess, its called "X Studios" and its totally gonna change the world forever!

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I’m not going to look, but I’m willing to bet, there’s already a “games” studio called X Studios… and they make porno games.

He probably already has every title. And so do the neckbeards that worship him.

I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

Oh whew. He's got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

[-] ansiz@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Talking about "non-woke" AI. How's Grok doing? Still hating him like all his other children?

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

He really is Schrödinger's oligarch, both the richest man alive but somehow also a revolutionary fighting against the "system". Or in other words, he thinks he's Neo while literally building the Matrix (Neuralink+AI).

I'm sure he'll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn't bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.

Let the first AAA woke game bomb.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Will it go as well as X AI?

Grok is the laughing stock of the LLM world, and he also completely lied about his promise to make them open source. The latest Qwen release from Alibaba (open, locally runnable weights, tiny, Apache, freaking smart) has rendered his obscene hoard of H100s basically obsolete, with a miniscule fraction of the money.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago

Bet: He will not release a single fucking game

Musk's grift is to portray himself as a some kind of "rebel" against the establishment and elites, as a "good guy", even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.

[-] Knightfox@lemmy.one 15 points 2 weeks ago

From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that's going to be some grade A cringe.

Oh how i wish he would just shut the ever loving fuck up already. Him and all his little muskrats. Oh what a quiet and peaceful world that would be.

We are doomed. Doomed i say

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Call his bluff. Get him away from politics and let him spend the next eight years building the next Balan Wonderworld with cameos from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump.

Better yet, let him collab with Peter Molyneux, and Musk will be bankrupt before the game is released.

[-] b161 11 points 2 weeks ago

Aww he thinks people like him?

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Stop typing up that misogynist manifesto and scouting crowded public spaces. Instead, become the hero you wish you were and do us all a fucking favour. I will personally ensure you have the fattest commissary in history for the duration of your life sentence.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 9 points 2 weeks ago

Musk and Trump are jamboys for the Fascists.

They are there solely to draw attention.

[-] PostnataleAbtreibung@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Elonia is building her own game studio? Well, that was not on my 2024 bingo card.
