Well if Japan wants to slam people why not slam cute Japanese girls?

EA Japan? What have they released? Or are they just there to translate their games to the Japanese language?

>>714739613 (OP)
Learn to code...erm...nevermind.

>EA Japan
In what way were they related to Microsoft?

>>714739958
Kek. It blows my mind people actually said that shit with a straight face. How many code monkeys did they think the world needed? Especially since automation has always been big tech's main goal anyway. Anyone working for any silicon valley company is simply working to create their own replacement.

>>714739613 (OP)
Dreams was a PlayStation exclusive though?

>EA Japan
???

deserved

>you were supposed to not make it a buggy mess
>oh you are perfectly right about that let me fix it for you

>>714740974
This. Didn't even fucking know EA had a building in Japan.

they don't, most of them live with their parents, the rest on houses they rent, and all of them still have a student loan to pay.

????
>It shocked players
I'm pretty sure we're all laughing.
>Not expecting anything work-related to be done by AI in the current year
What the fuck did they expect?

>>714739613 (OP)
they can always choose not to pay it and just get liquidated

title and content algorithms know that simply putting Japan in something boosts interest, reception and trust.

>>714739613 (OP)
People laugh now, before they realize this is going to happen to every business.

There are twice as many Indians as there are Americans and Europeans COMBINED. They're going to take over everything.

Americans and Europeans are facing mass unemployment.

>>714739613 (OP)
AI is the future. Just accept it already like good cattle and stop thinking about it.

>>714748908
Yup. Corpos have been seething nonstop at the work from home revolution and the cold hard realisation that workers would happily stay at home and not suck up to senior management or pretend to be their friends. Anyone who works at a desk: learn a skill that requires you to be physically in your country, because it’s over for you

>>714749161
So what will companies do when 50% of people get unemployed and stop buying things?

Everything is going to crash. We recently saw data that purchase power for young Americans (videogames) have gone down a whopping 25% over a single years.

>>714749592
> So what will companies do when 50% of people get unemployed and stop buying things?
It’s already priced in. The crash will happen, they’ll weather the storm, and they’ll suck your last pennies out of you with subscription services for your groceries, where the quality and quantity of what your subscription gets you will steadily diminish over time

>>714739613 (OP)
This is why i have and never will never buy anything with mortgages or loans, not even credit card, except ultra emergency stuff. Game dev's business strategy is literally "making a high risk investment product" everytime you devving. Its not smart to buy things when you don't have the guarantee to have the money in the future, in this kind of business.

Also, thanks /biz/ for teaching me this back in 2017

>>714739613 (OP)
Lol lmao

>>714749592
>So what will companies do
Make you a slave. That was the goal all along.

>>714750158
Correct. But slaves earn so little money they won't be able to pay for anything except rent and bills. Which means purchasing power will crash, which means companies will go bankrupt.

They own literally all assets. It doesn't matter. You will perform menial but necessary tasks until you die

>>714739613 (OP)
>games were canceled
stopped reading. nobody gives a fuck what esl's think about american companies. don't want to get laid off by an american company? then work for a major indian corporation.....oh wait.....

>fire everyone and replace them with LLM
>then sell the shitty AI slop to the people they've just fired?

So what's the endgame of the AI cult?

>>714750560
To concentrate wealth, of course. Why do you think big corpos push AI? Because they benefit from it.

You'll have a world where 1% owns almost everything, and the masses work for slave wages.

>>714750676
there will be no jobs, AI and robots will take them all
we will just be comfy

>>714750560
Why are you so against ai? Ai brings a really bright future for all of us, stop being some stupid chud and get excited!

>>714739613 (OP)
Well then maybe Microsoft should stop firing them?

>>714750560
More money this quarter. There is no coherent plan beyond that except to repeat it again next quarter.

>>714749592
Get the goverment to give them resources directly on your behalf. But that's more pol's department.

>>714739613 (OP)
JAPS OUT
JEETS IN

>>714739613 (OP)
The worst part is most developers blame game pass instead of AI about last week's layoff
Microsoft must be laugh so hard now

>>714739613 (OP)
pajeetsoft is hiring thousands of cheap pajeets at the same time
they just destroy everything they touch

>>714739613 (OP)
>microsoft cut thousands of jobs
>entire studios have been closed

We can only hope that the Chinese turd known as Bethesda Game Studios will be next to go.

>>714751738
>entire studios have been closed
To be fair, that studio isn't even a studio for developing games, so we lost nothing

>>714739613 (OP)
Just stop working for major publishers.
We all know that the reason they have these large teams in the first place is so that they can fire people performatively to preempt news of a bad fiscal quarter, since devs stop contributing positively to the development of a game before you even break triple digits.
>>714750676
This is already achieved by IP law. The push for AI exists almost exclusively to push the agenda of IP law and make the bargaining position of individual's worse, not as its own thing.

>>714750560
The endgame is corporate minmaxxing profits as much as they can until the inevitable failure/collapse of their business thanks to AI, then they can just go to the government and banks for bailouts.
They use the bailouts to fund their next ponzi scheme.
They have no risk and dont have to pay wages/redundancy.
Its a win-win for them.

>>714751738
Cant believe this game is still $130 fucking dollars.

>>714749161
>multiple choice math test
Damn, I don't remember ever having one of those.
I recall we also always had to write down all of the steps we took to get to the answer, preventing anyone from just taking a wild guess.

>>714749592
>>714750306
>>714750676
Be honest now, what did you do?

>>714739613 (OP)
what is this weird practice these companies are doing now, where they go on a MASS hiring spree, getting as many people as they can in a few months.
They then throw them onto major projects and leave them there for literally YEARS, im talking 3-5+ years of working.
Then suddenly, "oh wait no we need to budget cut" and so they fire everyone they hired.
Then the project they had a trailer announcement for is in endless limbo or just vaporware cancelled at this point.
All of this, yet they have record profits and growth to investors.
So my question is this /v/.
My entire post loops itself.
These companies will then shortly after laying off EVERYONE, they will go on a MASS rehiring spree again and repeat the process ive outlined.

WHAT is really going on? Do the workers even work on anything? Is it all a front to gain shareholder wealth and dividends?

Xbox hasn't released ANY games other than Halo Infinite in 2021, FOR 5-6+ YEARS.
Every game they announced, such as Fable, Perfect Dark, and others, were all announced as far back as 2020.
And they all still have nothing to show for it.
Its like how Microsoft hired that japanese guy for Scarebound, he spent 2-3 years developing it, then right when it was literally finished, they pulld the rug from under him and said "it didnt meet their standards".

The entire company of Microsoft (and other companies) just seem like massive front companies to make endless wealth but producing nothing of value. Its literally smoke and mirrors.

Replace developers with AI
Replace Voice Actors with AI
Replace """"journslaists"""" with AI

a lot of these people have the talent to be successful, but if they want the mainstream audience they'll have to be more subtle about their politics

cyberpunk 2077 incorporated all of the progressive tropes it could fit down to tranny bulges in advertisements and they got away with it because they weren't overly preachy and showed self awareness

>>714752291
why does a game need to be aware of its politics and insert transgenderism into development to succeed now?
please tell me.

>>714749161
If AI screws EVERYONE out of work, what future do we even have?

>>714750560
its just arms race at this point cause if you dont do it then chinks will overtake and you will be forever behind, they dont even care that AI doesnt make money and ruins life for everyone

as for the jobs situation - gov will have to mandate still hiring humans - because AI wont pay taxes and won consume, you need to keep the economy going and people occupied or they will revolt

>>714749161
Lol so whats really the point of going to school in 2025 when you have AI to do everything for you

>>714750560
for you to be 100% replaced and for the masses of people to look at it as a "god" essentially but not getting any deeper then that today you figure out the rest

>>714752171

Why are you lying?

>>714740974
:o

>>714752171
It's a performative dance for the shareholders, they hire and fire employees to appear forward thinking when they break the news of their quarterly releases. At best the excess of employees help to pump their various real-estate scams by occupying office buildings and keep the various consultancy companies that get nepohired by the CEO (also formerly a consultant) seemingly productive.
Game sales don't make their profits (or at least not the ones they care about) and actually releasing the game would only risk upsetting the charade.
The truth of IP law is that major entities will trend towards being NPEs, because the law is not optimized for promoting productivity beyond the tiny scale of independent artists getting ripped off by domestic Tshirt companies.

>>714752434
they never cared, globalism already screwed the west - they outsourced everything to asia destroying domestic industry for short term profit

Game devs should get used to working 5 days a week doing physical labor and being fired after working a full shift without warning while being replaced with someone incapable of speaking the native language. And that's a good thing.

javascript and pytthon AAAA gaming is the future sir.

Maybe it's something where you really want the core of Bethesda, but it's easier to buy the entirety of Zenimax instead.

And then you get Starfield as a reward.

To learn how to cheat, obviously. People will almost always take the easiest path unless it's impossible to get away with it.

They manage localization and distribution.
