Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

How difficult is it to start a gaming company with all those thousands of people who were fired? Can they get together and start something themselves?

Sadly, they are most likely forced to sell their labor for survival short term and hence cannot even invest their own time for the purpose of making something truly great.

Quite depressing, actually 🙁 I'm sure giving a healthy working environment and good pay, they could make really amazing games.

On a tangential note, I doubt that the license you include will have any influence on people doing scraping for commercial AI :(

Also, I am not sure what is the default licence the content on forums/lemmy is posted under and if that can be changed by including an overriding licence 🤔

That doesn't deter me. It's just a keystroke to insert 🤷 If someday I read that the EU or the US decided anything can be used to train AI, then I'd stop.

I like it. It reminds me that Lemmy is a small space and that people on the internet are not bots, so we have to be nice to each other :) Plus it is always fun seeing you around in different threads.

😄 thanks. Lemmy is really small if I'm recognizable just by my signature.

Have a good day!
