@TheTrueOrb @LilSmurfYT plus i think it's worth noting that evan is gone, most of the senior backend team is gone. a LOT of the people that were very important in keeping the servers alive and keeping these modes working are just gone so it's not going to be as easy for epic to keep these modes up

@TheTrueOrb @LilSmurfYT blitz i get the point with it being easy to keep active, but i feel like the same applies to rocket racing. like they weren't doing anything with that, so i think that's not going to count for anything

I give it at max another year before festival and lego shut down

Maybe this will get me a lot of hate or maybe not, but I feel like the metaverse is not even a bad thing in general. As a concept, it's amazing; it's the way Epic has been doing it that has been the problem pumping out modes that don't have content, paying UEFN millions etc

@TheTrueOrb @LilSmurfYT tbh it's more of just a wait and see thing cus rn it's hard to know what's going to happen with evan gone, the server team mostly gone, QA team and playtesters mostly gone imo it doesn't look good though, which is why i think epic will kill these modes

@TheTrueOrb @LilSmurfYT reload is the one that i think is most likely to survive but with the shit that is happening it's not lasting forever lol, tim sweeney's stupid bullshit will lead to reload dying eventually

@Mrwhopper540121 @LilSmurfYT i think og will just be completely removed as a mode when season x ends or they'll just rerun the stuff they did for ch1 either way i think it's very unlikely that we get anything past in ch1, i don't think ch2 og is happening anymore

@CoolNite2 @LilSmurfYT Og will totally be over in terms of OG when season x is over

do IT NOW GOHAN!!!!!! WE ARE CONTINUING OUR DEATH BATTLE BRACKET, AND SOME GAMING YAPS. WHY IS THE INDUSTRY COOKED? WHO KNOWS. LOCK IN : TWITCH.Tv/GAMESCAGE 🗣️💙

@GB10FN disney have also cancelled their deal with openai, and recently microsoft and nvidia (both of which are BIG ai supporters) both said that ai might not be the best thing ever (which is a huge change from what they were saying before) ai is going away and we will NOT miss it

BEST FUCKING NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL DAY LETS GOOOOO I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY WE WILL NOT MISS THIS SHIT PLATFORM!!! #Sora

again, the AI bubble is starting to pop openai i think is going to go away earlier than the rest of it since it seems like they have more issues than others but this shows / will definitely cause a lack of confidence in other AI companies

like i've said though, this is all a long way if it's happening and what happens during and after this is going to affect us more negatively than those who caused this but it's something at least :)

and as that goes away companies will do what they always do try to make the most money which with how things are going rn, seems to be giving up on the AI bullshit which means AI doesn't have the insane funding it had and consequently will collapse

well there's some good news at least despite how terrible this day has been anyways i think that this is the beginning of the AI bubble popping i don't think it's going to go away yet, we've still got a long way to go but it's starting

@_Trace_CZ @LilSmurfYT and there's also the fact that the entire game will probably start to fall apart so so much often than it has previously which will lead to a lot of shit happening

@_Trace_CZ @LilSmurfYT i think reload will last the longest out of these but if tim sweeeney has to choose between shutting down reload or slightly decreasing the money spent on steal the brainrot he will definitely choose to shut down reload

Sigh. Ever since 2022's mass layoffs all over the place, any time anyone has asked me for advice on "how to get into the gaming industry," my answer has been the same: "Don't." And I don't really like saying that, but shit has been so consistently fucked these last few years.

Like I understand why so many students are giving are up on their game dev dreams. I wanna support and inspire but it truly does not matter if you ship a hit or a flop at a big studio. Your career will eventually be in the hands of some corporate person you've never met
