I REALLY wanted to see what they were working on. It would be interesting just to talk to him and his team. ESO was built on the Hero engine and I think SWTOR is the only other MMO to use it. I've always wondered how much that inspired them to work on their own engine for Blackbird.
Oh and I love that they independent team calls themselves Sackbird Studios.
Big tech will abandon gaming now that they've found out about AI. I guess getting children hooked on gambling isn't as profitable as it used to be.
There is no money in LLM-AI in the long run, it’s a bubble. What they probably will do is pumping out gaming slop like Eastern mobile studios.
Oh I know. It's just the latest grift. Just like Fortnite was before regulation.
