      I’m not convinced they’ll crash and burn. Fortnite still prints money. Limited-time skins and the continued existence of children still works. Plus, fortnite has hundreds of “games” within it at this point just from Epic, plus all kinds of user-created modes. It’s pubg, it’s roblox, it’s Lego, it’s hot wheels. Honestly more shocked that it sounds like this Disney venture is making separate titles and not just more fortnite modes.

    No more ehand written code is literally like saying “we pledge never to innovate, and will only ever remake what has been made before”

      That fully tracks for Disney which, long before the GenAI bubble was a glimmer in grifters’ eyes, had already settled into being the place creativity went to die while old shit continues to be rehashed and resold to consumers ad nauseam by corporate drones.

      As much as I hate the ongoing “AI” scam, and as many hours as I’ve wasted on Bethesda’s games (or on modding them), in Bethesda’s case (especially modern Bethesda) I actually believe the slop machine might actually be an improvement.

      At least the code for the unofficial patches will be in its training set, which is a start…
