Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

Destiny 2 died BECAUSE of soulless, maligned, pathetic, ignorant, coward, contrived, boring, corrupt, greedy, pussy, dick, anus farts like Sweeney. Epic belongs in the fucking grave.
May they rest in piss.
If there were anyone who needed to hire a PR firm to handle all of their public-facing communications, Tim Sweeney is it, because every time I read a news article that starts "Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Says...", it is always (from my memory, at least) the dumbest and/or most infuriating bullshit you've ever heard from someone who is, notionally, supposed to sell customers on their products or services.
Someone on his staff really needs to tell him to shut the fuck up.
[ Everyone disliked that.]
What a dog shit take damn
Even someone who likes AI knows games don't write themselves.
I'm really trying to think if his comments are aimed at investors for bringing in new funding and consolidate AI games on his platform but even he should know that just makes him the AI guy people don't wanna associate with. It's puzzling that I don't get the strategy here.

"Tim Sweeney claims that the technology he is behind will be a cure-all. Somehow reporters think that a CEO backing their own business venture is newsworthy."
Tim Sweeney can get fucked. Every time he opens his mouth, a bunch of vile bullshit spews out.
Being a CEO is so easy a job, even the brain-dead can do it!
AI is best at being a CEO
I don't know what his point is. That we can mass produce slop for the lowest common denominator without needing to pay anyone? I legitimately don't understand who he thinks he's talking to! None of the players who would be fine with slop are listening (by definition), and he can talk to his rich buddies without the bad PR. And those are the only two groups who could possibly stand to benefit from what he's suggesting.
Man... Sweeney is starting to go from 'contemptible' to 'pitiable'.
That is such a desperate and obviously stupid thing to say that I do actuslly just feel sad for him at this point.
The copium of this guy is incredible.
Has Tim Weeny ever thought that maybe he should just shut the fuck up?
Tim Sweeney? The Tim Sweeney who argued that Roblox wasn't a platform used by pedophiles to groom minors and exploiting child labor laws? That Tim Sweeney?
Ugh, once again Tim Sweeney is being not only disingenuous, but also letting shit spill from his mouth. His desperation knows no bounds. If only people would just mock this idiot more.
but also letting shit spill from his mouth.
When you're so full, it overflows
Too bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren't old enough to care about how sick that company has become
I hate this man so much.
Barf barf barf
Attend the tale of Sweeny Tim,
His dick was small and his mind was dim.
It's hilarious watching these rich CEOs try to tow this narrative on their own and failing. LLMs have limited usefulness and we all know it.
AI would have killed it faster than Bungie did.
Oh please do! We certainly need a purge on AAA studios releasing shit. I'm sure if they let the AI make the next cod it will be a triumph. They'll make a note saying HUGE SUCCESS.
Tim Sweeny must have been a very slippery baby.
I like AI or more specifically, LLMs. I find them useful in a mundane sort of way.
And I can tell you that AI would not have saved Destiny 2, a game that's been out for nine years, from the poor and greedy decisions made by Bungie and Sony.
Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership. Nothing more. There was nothing philosophically or technically wrong with the game itself.

oh good the ghoulish fucktake I expect from this dirtbag
I tot Destiny 2 died because it's just repetitive and people moving on. AI adding the same shit will not save anything, but accelerate it.
The Monument of Triumph update shows that people still WANT to play Destiny. The people in charge were too busy siphoning money away from the game to fund (way too many) other projects, a new building, and cars, just to name a few things.

Fuck off Timmy.
Well offer PlayStation money for the studio and see if they say yes
No point telling us until you are in a position to do something
Destiny died for me the moment they started taking away content I paid for. Destiny was at its peak at the end of D1. The expansions were good, the events were fun, they found a rhythm. Then the beginning of D2 was a big step back and we had to figure it all out again.

I mean the destiny 2 gameplay loop is just repetitive reiteration variations on a theme, it's the perfect vehicle for ai
