    “The service will succeed or fail”. Not much of a hot take, even though I agree with his sentiment.

    I tried GamePass PC until a whole bunch of my favourite games disappeared. So I had to buy them in the end, which, given steam’s usual deals, was about the same as keeping my subscription. It’s not a great deal for discerning customers and people will notice.

      I had a free trial for PC and came to a similar conclusion. It’s a good way to try some games, but the value proposition isn’t great for long term unless you constantly play new games. Also the download speed was atrocious.

        This. I never understood why people bothered with this mess in the first place, you need to be playing a new game like every two-three months to make this worth it/cheaper than just buying a $60 game. Which I think would be extremely hard for some games like RPGs that might take 100hrs to beat, especially if you have a life/obligations. I was busy with college, so Metaphor Re:fantazio took me like 5 months to beat, so a gamepass would be more expensive that buying the damn thing.

    Dishonored and Prey dev Arkane founder

    The fuck is that sentence structure? This reeks of AI.

      ‘Dishonored and Prey’[two games] ‘dev’ [short for developer, the people that made the games] ‘Arkane’ [the name of the studio, i.e. the ‘developer’] ‘founder’ [the person that founded said studio]. So, after unwrapping, it would be something like ‘The founder of Arkane, the studio that developed Dishonored and Prey, says…’.

      It is weird, and I certainly hate it, but it’s proper ‘journalist grammar’.

        No need to talk to me like I am retarded. You are most likely right, though. I just don’t think humans usually write like this. I could be totally wrong, I am just throwing the possibility of it being AI out there.

          “I don’t understand X so it has to be ai”

          This mindset of people in the last few months has become mind boggling. It’s common journalism to shorthand stuff, the phrase isn’t hard to parse, and none of it has to do with someone’s name (reading the article made this clear in the first sentence), so claiming it’s Ai confusing them is just plain wrong to begin with.

          Maybe if you didn’t come across so foolish, someone wouldn’t need to explain it like you were five.

            Fake quotation of me, attributing others’ “mindset” to me, claiming I didn’t understand it, selectively ignoring statements I have made, twisting my words to fit your point, implying a human couldn’t have had an ai write or help with this work even though writing is one of the most commonly replaced professions by ai, accusing me of stating opinions as fact, insulting me to discredit what I said.

            And all of that in just a few sentences, impressive. I hope you aren’t this evil and just don’t realize how manipulative your rhetoric is.

              I mean reading the first sentence of the article would have cleared up any confusion, you’ve shown how foolish you are, but bloviate all you want dude. Who just reads an article title and thinks that’s the entire article lmfao.

              Act like a 5 year old, and get treated like one, what else would you expect lol.

              Also, never insulted you, I just said if you come across like a fool, you will be treated like one.

                How so?

                Act like a 5 year old

                Where did I do that exactly?

                  Let’s see…

                  I think the AI couldn’t differentiate between name and job title.

                  The first sentence made it clear it wasn’t a name, so if you read the article, you wouldn’t have made this claim.

                  Where did I do that exactly?

                  See above.

        I think the AI couldn’t differentiate between name and job title. This isn’t a mistake a professional writer would make. Especially when proof reading. I caught it reading it once.
