So, I was scrooling yt last night as I am wont to do sometimes, and miraculously, all these videos showed up, one after the other. I haven’t seen the algorithm working this well in over a decade lol.
Microsoft’s addiction to hiring 18 month contractors and then forcing them to learn an in-house engine has disastrous effects on Halo Infinite, leading them to abandon their slipspace engine in favor of Unreal

Serious, the developer of CoD BO3’s T7 patch, was one of the first community patches to address the arbitrary code exploits which began to ravage the multiplayer servers of the older CoD games, making them unsafe to play online. Recently this topic has made a resurgence, new RCEs have been found, but the developer of T7 makes a convincing case that his patch has been safe all along, and the people causing controversy (mostly cod/zombies youtubers) have no idea what they’re talking about beyond regurgitating FUD

EVE Online, at its highest levels, isn’t PvE and it isn’t even PvP. Eventually you reach a point where it becomes PvDev (or you join goonsquad)
Basically, Microsoft, being a corporate megolith, wants to really be a financial company that pays people to make games as an investment, rather than be a company that makes games.
A lot of the major companies in America really just see themselves as investment firms that actually make nothing.
It would explain why they're so weird with AI. Lots of talk and showing off, but no good products actually released.
The issue there is that most of AI is purely an economic bubble. It's the modern "tech bubble".
It’s crazy that we’re basically going through the dot com bubble again with AI. People should know better. Group think has to be one of the most powerful phenomena in human psychology.
Serious question: How does this bubble burst?
Economic bubbles I get, but AI?
