Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

Richest fucker in the world starts indie game studio was not on my bingo card.

God I’m so sick of hearing about this douchebag.

Can we just stop trying squeeze AI into every god damn thing yet?

It has its uses, but its a tool, not a replacement for actual hardwork and talent - and if you try to make it be, you'll just get hot garbage out.

I can't wait for the people that are still on the gamer gate wagon to get ahold of one of these games, find out it's ass, and then claim the only people that don't like it are the woke mob that kills art.

My god he’s insufferable

On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already

And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3

I'm sure the studio will launch by next year, like every Musk product.

Creating a game studio, because you are a huge corporation with unlimited money doesn't guarantee success. Just look at Amazon game studios for example.

Wait, lemme guess, its called "X Studios" and its totally gonna change the world forever!

Fuck off Elon.

The richest man in the world complains companies with 1% of his persona wealth are too big.

What the actual F.

I don't give a shit what Trump's little bitch thinks thinks about video games.

This will go as well as Grummz’ (aka Bus Guy) new game studio. Also Amazon tried and failed, Facebook tried and failed, Google tried and failed. Non of these Silicon Valley cunts know how to start and run a creative endeavor like a game studio.

Talking about "non-woke" AI. How's Grok doing? Still hating him like all his other children?

This is a great way for him to waste money and time developing games no one wants. A cyber truck version of Diablo 4, what would that even look like.

Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations

Uh oh. Am I going to have to agree with the worst person in the world?

so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'

Oh whew. He's got the worst possible solution to the problem. The world is still correctly aligned.

The new Crypto AI game named DogeX allows you to become a Russian troll!

He really is Schrödinger's oligarch, both the richest man alive but somehow also a revolutionary fighting against the "system". Or in other words, he thinks he's Neo while literally building the Matrix (Neuralink+AI).

All games will include some doge based nft stuff wont they?

He and trump are like two wicked and ridiculous Roald Dahl villains. Insufferable, and how. I wish they’d both just fuck off.

When he finds out XboX is taken....he is going to be SO MAD

I'm sure he'll attract a ton of talent. As if the game industry wasn't bad enough with its employees, an Elon-ran game company would be something for the ages.

Let the first AAA woke game bomb.

Will it go as well as X AI?

Grok is the laughing stock of the LLM world, and he also completely lied about his promise to make them open source. The latest Qwen release from Alibaba (open, locally runnable weights, tiny, Apache, freaking smart) has rendered his obscene hoard of H100s basically obsolete, with a miniscule fraction of the money.

Bet: He will not release a single fucking game

From the mind behind the design of the Cybertruck and naming his website X. God that's going to be some grade A cringe.

Musk's grift is to portray himself as a some kind of "rebel" against the establishment and elites, as a "good guy", even though he belongs to the elites as a billionaire.

Eww, no

Oh how i wish he would just shut the ever loving fuck up already. Him and all his little muskrats. Oh what a quiet and peaceful world that would be.

We are doomed. Doomed i say

God please no. The game industry is messed up as it is.

Aww he thinks people like him?

Call his bluff. Get him away from politics and let him spend the next eight years building the next Balan Wonderworld with cameos from Joe Rogan and Donald Trump.

Better yet, let him collab with Peter Molyneux, and Musk will be bankrupt before the game is released.

Elonia is building her own game studio? Well, that was not on my 2024 bingo card.

Musk and Trump are jamboys for the Fascists.

They are there solely to draw attention.

Stop typing up that misogynist manifesto and scouting crowded public spaces. Instead, become the hero you wish you were and do us all a fucking favour. I will personally ensure you have the fattest commissary in history for the duration of your life sentence.

If devs thought the crunch was bad before….

Isn't this moron still playing Diablo 4? Can't say that gives me much confidence in his greatness. I'd also bet both nuts that his games feature microtransactions as their core mechanic.

Ten years from now, President Musk, the last president of the free united states, signs a document ceding all territory to the new russian empire

His games will fail so hard it isn't funny. The only people who speak positively of his games are his fans who will buy them and play them for only 10 seconds (and never again) before gushing about how cool they are.

Fine, make games for Nazis, nobody cares. When it fails completely you can whine about the big mean world being mean to you then buy the next president and make them fund your losses from being trash-tier. Also, every maga will buy them like obedient sheep, so you will get a few million guaranteed sales.

Can't wait to see how many titles he can come up with that have X in them before he has to branch out (if the company lasts that long).

Umm, okay. It takes a long ass time to make a game. This will be a new untested studio. Even if they start making good games it's going to be years from now.

Well that's another way to burn a few more billion.

I'd love to see him try (and fail)

To be fair to him, his AI can probably make a better game than he ever could himself

I guarantee his games will star him and push his agenda into poorly written stories.

Elon musk and Mel Gibson team up to form a new non woke game studio.

K.

Can he get gvmnt to fund this endeavour? Most times such ideas mean siphoning money and not releasing anything and he is bro-bro with Trump.

A certain type of goateed chungus will take as an article of faith that this is a revolution in gaming, preorder multiple copies of these games and send death threats to anyone who suggests that they’re not great.

Yeah good luck with THAT one, Elon. Just another company for you to run into the ground.

Cities skylines 2 is already out so IMO we don't need more games

It's a great short-term idea to possibly break stagnation in the industry, but it is ultimately ironic and therefore the expected evolution is likely.

I'd believe his words a bit more if he through backing toward indie studios with minimal strings attached. But, he will instead—probably quickly—become part of the same old problem we already have.

Open world game where you make yourself an Oligarch?

I hope they do some quest native titles

oh, please don't. please, pretty please?

He figured out he can have an army of junkie fanatics if he gets into the videogame business. Just like his multi billionare colleague steam ceo gabe newell who owns a billionare mega yacht fleet and somehow still get praised even here on lemmy.
