    How far Squeenix has fallen. 😒

    So they don’t want to me not buy any more DQ games. That’s a bold strategy, let’s see how it plays out.

      I’ve never bought any and I’m doing fine.

        I mean, I’ll be fine too. I just quite liked many of their games and I thought DQ XI was great. There will be no more of that apparently.

      I imagine it will play out just fine. Most gamers and the younger generation are pro AI.

        That doesn’t align with any that I know, but anecdotes are just that I suppose.

        Most gamers hate AI, games are freaking out of they have to put they use ai in their game for a reason. Young kids are using “That’s AI” as a way to say something is a lie. I don’t know what hole you’re sticking your head in but you might want to wake up.

        Your dad got banned from the local petting zoo for blowing a sheep.

        Unfounded claims are fun and easy!

    Google: please, we have to prove to our investors that the AI gamble will pay off. We’ll license you Gemini for almost nothing and your customers will love it!

    At least it kind of looks how I imagine a personification of a chatbot should look

    Honestly, a small llm in these situations would be great idea, but it should be a very small local or hosted by the company itself (with a setting to turn off)

    A small AI in games is the stuff I do want. But there is no reason gemni needs to be involved in a game at all

      Make it a downloadable package that runs a local model and I think I’d be far more fine. Like, I think it’s a tacky gimmick, but at least on device it’s not hurting the environment

      AI-powered NPCs is like a childhood dream come true. But I agree it would be better for them to use a model running on the user’s system or at the very least host their own.

      I thought I was in the minority with this opinion. I hate all the known issues with AI and the ethics in how they train, but I have to say having an AI in a game is really really cool.

      There was a time when (I think it was chatgpt) had free API access and this game spacebourne 2 integrated it into your ships computer so you could interact with it. It was very cool, very wrong at times, but still very cool. My favorite interaction was unfortunately a hallucination. I asked it what system I was in and it gave me a name of a system that does exist in the game, it just wasn’t where I was. I asked why my map said I was somewhere else and it says “your map must be incorrect” lol

    So, I guess I'm never touching anything by Square Enix again. That includes Taito & Gangan, and I'll probably also just personally extend it to IO Interactive and anything they touch, and Crystal Dynamics and everything they touch. And I don't just mean buying. I won't even consider pirating LLM stuff from the slophouse.

      Squeenix is also big on that whole Playtron “crypto gaming OS”. They come right up on the homepage.

      No surprises here.

      They are still riding the FF7 wave. They will continue to do so until the end.

        I’m thinking a lot of them ride off of FFXIV, though it’s less visible much of the time. That game has a lot of real loyalists.

      I grew up with them when they were still two different companies and contrary to most fans, I still like their games.
