How about this moron try using it to keep Unreal Tournament going first and see how that goes?
Dont you fucking dare introduce generative ai in one of my favourite games
He is going to end Epic single handedly
He keeps shooting himself in the foot and all of his other parts of his body at this point
Too bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren’t old enough to care about how sick that company has become
Now wait, if the AI had fired Sweeney early on it might have worked out.
Man… Sweeney is starting to go from ‘contemptible’ to ‘pitiable’.
That is such a desperate and obviously stupid thing to say that I do actuslly just feel sad for him at this point.
Tim Sweeney can get fucked. Every time he opens his mouth, a bunch of vile bullshit spews out.
Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.
in what way was he dishonest or corrupt?
sure his statement is ridiculous but it doesnt make him dishonest or corrupt
EDIT: people. i asked a question. the guy answered my question. i cant u derstand the need to downvote because i dont know something.
Corrupt:
That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).
Dishonest:

Specifically:
This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.
This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.
When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because American polemics about alleged beliefs in “free speech” are lies.
Most American political arguments are lies
Don’t worry, the votes are meaningless
Tims bad. Gaben good.
I am not a Valve fanboy.
They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.
Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.
Your first comment came off like, really not how you wanted IMO.
I don’t understand what you mean.
Your first comment sounds like you’re mocking people: it reads as if you’re parroting a valve fanboy who thinks Gabe is awesome simply because they’ve been brainwashed to think that and not because of valid reasons.
A rare inverse example of Poe’s law in action - a statement so lacking in nuance that everyone is assuming it to be sarcastic.
No, that’s not what I meant. Tim is bad and Gaben is good in my opinion.
This is really weird, I read this comment chain a month ago I feel like. But it was posted today?
Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.
It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.
You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.
Yes, that’s why Gaben good and Tims bad.
There are no good billionaires, period.
Everyone has their own opinion. period.
There is no such thing as a good billionaire and to say otherwise is just lickspittle behavior. Gabe does not care about you.
As said, everyone has their own opinion what constitutes to “good” and “bad”.
I don’t know what his point is. That we can mass produce slop for the lowest common denominator without needing to pay anyone? I legitimately don’t understand who he thinks he’s talking to! None of the players who would be fine with slop are listening (by definition), and he can talk to his rich buddies without the bad PR. And those are the only two groups who could possibly stand to benefit from what he’s suggesting.
I like AI or more specifically, LLMs. I find them useful in a mundane sort of way.
And I can tell you that AI would not have saved Destiny 2, a game that’s been out for nine years, from the poor and greedy decisions made by Bungie and Sony.
Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership. Nothing more. There was nothing philosophically or technically wrong with the game itself.
Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership.
Maybe Sweeney meant that even an LLM would have made better decisions than current leadership? :D
Destiny 2 died BECAUSE of soulless, maligned, pathetic, ignorant, coward, contrived, boring, corrupt, greedy, pussy, dick, anus farts like Sweeney. Epic belongs in the fucking grave.
May they rest in piss.
If there were anyone who needed to hire a PR firm to handle all of their public-facing communications, Tim Sweeney is it, because every time I read a news article that starts “Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Says…”, it is always (from my memory, at least) the dumbest and/or most infuriating bullshit you’ve ever heard from someone who is, notionally, supposed to sell customers on their products or services.
Someone on his staff really needs to tell him to shut the fuck up.
[ Everyone disliked that.]
Being a CEO is so easy a job, even the brain-dead can do it!
AI is best at being a CEO
Fuck off Timmy.
AI would have killed it faster than Bungie did.
