    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it’s going to be years from now.

      I think how he works is that he will buy out a studio with an almost finished game, and reskin it to help him with gaining more power in the USA .

      It will be out in a few months, and he will claim credit.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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

        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.

          Punching nazis is a game, more or less, but that’s about as political as a game should get imo.

        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.

          Out of touch, money-focused execs ruin everything. Especially when you have to keep the investors and shareholders happy.

            Exactly. You have buyouts that replace creatives with business people and the good developers leave to start another company.
