Mark my words, the collapse of the AI Bubble will start with the videogame industry.

And it will likely take the two out before the dust settles.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

I'm not sure. Perhaps I don't pay enough attention, but it seems like the video game industry has been surprisingly slow to go into the current ai craze.

[up][up] I think Steam and the Nintendo E-Shop got flooded with AI slop, but the big companies are slow on making big changes. Still, it becomes clear that many hate AI, so it depends on whether the big names can read the room.

[up] Its more about if the people running the business are listening to the creatives or thinking about making money with less expenses more.

Speaking of Rockstar, GTA VI delayed for another 6 months. Their expected release date is now November 19, 2026.

Well B Friday in 2026 is going to be very empty for the PS 5 and X Box fans.

...Honestly I don't know if Nintendo might also steer clear of a November release or not....

At this point, I wonder if they have something functional or it's gonna run the generation on promises.

[up] Nintendo does have Metroid waiting in December, for what's worth.

There’s speculation that the first flagship Pokémon game that Nintendo will release exclusively for Switch 2 is planned for November 2026 on account of them releasing most flagship Pokémon games in November for over a decade now, but IDK if the different target markets means Nintendo wouldn’t even care about releasing such a cash cow so close to GTA.

Rockstar's a dogshit company. People look the other way of course because GTA.

[up][up] Its not like kids and GTA players overlap that hard to make it absolutely questionable of a release date. Then again my ten year old brother downloaded gtav when I had Psplus for a month, so dunno. Its still just a rumor.

I feel like SE’s problems of troubled development cycles and fixation on monetization started when Versus XIII was put to development. That game weirdly broke SE after who thought FFXIV 1.0 was okay to release, created and expensive multimedia around FFXV when it wasnt a proven game yet, had an exclusivity deal with FFXVI, unreasonable sales expectations, released Dissidia NT the way it is, made the Avengers the way it was, invest money to canon FFVII remake battle royale for mobile devices, and said theyll hard commit to the NFT craze.

It like SE thinks theyre the same as Activision. They arent even striving to reach those heights, they think theyre already there.
