  Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

    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.

      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.

    in what way was he dishonest or corrupt?

      Corrupt:

      https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/03/google-and-epic-look-to-bury-the-hatchet-with-new-app-store-settlement/

      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:

      https://www.thegamer.com/tim-sweeney-grok-controversy/

      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 polemics about alleged beliefs in free speech are bullshit. A comical joke (I say this from living there for 4 years).

  What a dog shit take damn

  Even someone who likes AI knows games don’t write themselves.

  I’m really trying to think if his comments are aimed at investors for bringing in new funding and consolidate AI games on his platform but even he should know that just makes him the AI guy people don’t wanna associate with. It’s puzzling that I don’t get the strategy here.

    hey now but what if I want my code to be like

     if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
            shoot()
    
      func shoot():
             fire(gun):
    
    
        func fire(gun):
              if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:

  Man… Sweeney is starting to go from ‘contemptible’ to ‘pitiable’.

  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

  It’s hilarious watching these rich CEOs try to tow this narrative on their own and failing. LLMs have limited usefulness and we all know it.

  Destiny died for me the moment they started taking away content I paid for. Destiny was at its peak at the end of D1. The expansions were good, the events were fun, they found a rhythm. Then the beginning of D2 was a big step back and we had to figure it all out again.

  • boringbisexual@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I could write an entire essay on how disappointed I was with D2. I gave it a shot around the time they started sweeping the old content under a rug. I would’ve been so angry if I had bought into it at launch

  • jordanlund@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Destiny 2 died because the studio was more interested in chasing F2P microtransactions than story content.

    They cut the paid story content so they could go F2P, then the new players had no idea what was going on or how to engage.

    What they SHOULD have done was this:

    Fork Destiny 2 into 2 games, each balanced separately. A) PvE Paid Story Content B) F2P PvP microtransactions.

    Let the same character bounce from one to the other.

    source

    • Prox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      This guy nailed it. I’m one of the players who came back for MoT / bought the everything collection. I’ve been playing through the content after the Europa story, and the game’s quality tanked after Final Shape. Final Shape is GREAT - campaign is fun & interesting, new location has tons of new activities with lots of secret content, and prismatic is a cool new way to build your character.

      But then Edge of Fate comes along, and Bungie very clearly cheaped out and cut all kinds of corners. The story dialogue is nonsense and half of the interactions are literally just text boxes over static characters, Fallout-style. They didn’t even bother to record voice work. The campaign level design to a nose dive where they clearly just decided to throw a billion enemies at you rather than create interesting encounters.

      Renegades is a little better from a writing perspective, but all of the other corner-cutting problems persist.

    The Monument of Triumph update shows that people still WANT to play Destiny. The people in charge were too busy siphoning money away from the game to fund (way too many) other projects, a new building, and cars, just to name a few things.
