!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Ah yes, gaming. That one industry you can't really fake past a certain point or everyone will boycott, call it boring or go on strike?
Perfect. Good decisions. Waste as much money as possible. I hope Ubisoft is in on it. Take as many shit-for-brains publishers and devs as you can gather. They forget half of the industry is wearing knee-high socks and cat ears. Propaganda games will go over like trying to sell kale to a shark.
AI slop coming to ruin your favorite IPs in the very near future.
Cannot wait for him to start putting out soon to be classic titles like "Ethnic Cleansing", "Concentration Camp Simulator", and "Deportation Station" to counter the woke libtards.
/S
Star Citizen to the power of Musk.
Then let's get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them "woke libs" /s
Saving Private Gunther
mgga?
mgga please. that shits dumb af.
How about we hang that fuckwad in a public forum instead?
"Can I take your coat? your shoes? your... swastikas??"
I'll be pissed if elon starts pumping out good games. I don't count on it but looking at the market it's not impossible.
He's made it abundantly clear how much he despises the entire concept of labor, of having to pay money to people to do the things that actually make a company work. He will not be able to build a company that actually makes games with that kind of disdain for the single most important resource required to make them. And his strategy of acquiring an existing company and gutting it afterwards won't be nearly as effective in the games industry, where you have to be continuously producing NEW content.
Really? You think that behavior is any better at the existing game studios? He found an industry that welcomes his behavior
I loved it when Amazon, Google, and Netflix got into the gaming industry and tried to throw billions of dollars and their startup software expertise to "revolutionize" game studios.
I mean he already said the word AI which means he is going to likely favor output volume over the love indie devs and old companies poured into their games. So chances are very slim. Knowing him, I guess the game will be about some genius who tries to save the world and go to Mars and be the sole male responsible for repopulation. So yeah, it might turn into a Larry game which takes itself too seriously.
Releasing even bad games is already a feat. Considering how Musk doesn't know how to run a web development company I would be surprised if his "game studio" releases anything. The only way that company releases anything is if Musk won't be involved, and we know the "expert at everything" will be involved.
Good thing I've always wondered "what if someone did an Activision, but worse?"
The good thing about this is that all his money can't buy a good result. Each game has to stand on its own two feet. If it costs millions to make, and still sucks, it will sink without a trace.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….
The “yes I’m 110% a Nazi in case every other time I told you I’m a Nazi didn’t come through” font.
I mean, sure, go ahead.
It’s one of the most benign things he does and it’s not like it’s gonna affect existing good game.
...wait, actually this has the potential to be amazing! I remember the early days of online gaming, and gamers for the most part were some of the most welcoming and friendly people I've ever been around.
Something changed, and 'gamer' became a toxic word, and all but niche gaming communities kinda went to shit.
If Elon makes some cringe-ass MMO or something, it will act as a sponge to soak up all the toxic assholes from other gaming communities.
Do it.
So Hatred's gonna get a sequel?
Payday 4: stealing from gamers
He is the most unlikeable twat on the planet.
From one of the most respected individuals to an absolute joke of a man in a few years.
He was always a "lie, lie and lie until you make it" kind of guy, it's just that in the last couple of years he's been doing it widely enough and long enough that the real results of enough of his lies came though and enough people started suspecting his words and looking at them more carefully and spotting the lying early.
As the saying goes, "you can deceive some people all of the time or all people some of the time, but you can't deceive all people all of the time" - and at some point, when he became more widely known, he seems to have gone from the first mode to the second and by now he's run out of time.
yea I guess at those times he wasn't very present in social media and everything we heard about him likely came from his PR team.
there were red flags. Like calling the mining accident rescuer a pedo and trying to insert himself in the rescue efforts.
see, havent even heard about this. when the frequency and exposure increases you start noticing. when was this?
Somehow, simultaneously “The world’s little brother” and “the most divorced man, ever”
So the next greatest game will just be "around the corner" and "nearly complete" every year for decades then?

Him and Todd Howard would get along
I mean, it sounds like he might've found the industry that really matches his way of ~~not~~ working.
Don't forget, he knows more about ~~manufacturing~~ game development than anyone currently alive on earth.
Talented people fail to make a career in gaming. Idc how many mines his daddy owned, he's not going to make a good game. Although we should encourage him to do it. Making games would obviously waste the time he uses to harass people.
Let's not forget: he's not making shit. He's gonna pay some poor fucks a pittance (if he decides to pay them at all) to make a lousy fps or whatever
Sure but he is also a micromanaging dipshit, the more bullshit he has the less focused he is overall.
Doesn't he know Epic Games studio already exists? The market for grand-standing self-righteous game-makers is pretty tapped at this point.
They might actually get along. The CEOs of both happen to be hypocritical asswipes who think providing a worse product and complaining about competition will give them the monopoly they're pretending to not want.
Forget what these folks say; it's all an excuse to start companies that can be awarded no-bid contracts from the government they "want to dismantle"
He should make a meta verse. I still won't buy it, but having 2 of them completely fall flat because a billionaire thought they knew what entertainment was would almost be as funny as that time Sony re-released Morbius in theaters.
