@RealMugg @isthisnew08 @mikeshapiroland To put it in perspective, Half Life is one of the most recognized video games

But GTA 5 is the highest grossing individual piece of media EVER

Grand theft auto is regonized on the scale of mickey mouse, Mario, and pokemon

Half life is nothing to that

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@RealMugg @isthisnew08 @mikeshapiroland Half life 3 will be successful no doubt, but not more then GTA 6, GTA 6 just has more reach then Half life 3 and is in a MUCH wider known franchise

As much as well love Half Life, my grandmother's never heard of it, but she's sure as hell herd of grand theft auto

@TBuragi @RealMugg @isthisnew08 @mikeshapiroland Console player? I've been all in on PC for years, the only console I own is a PS5 I was gifted and never used

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@RealMugg @isthisnew08 @mikeshapiroland No, I doubt Valve will release the game on console, especially if the rumored steam console exsits (HL3 would boost its sales)

PC gaming isn't as popular as console, sure it has more players technically, but most if those people have older PCs for esports games not modern PCs

@myn3ckhurts @Jack_River_13 @Potato_Farmer45 @rebirthcanal God this entire thread is filled with idiots

The carbomb was just being an ass, Jack replied by being an ass sarcastically

And everyone responded by picking apart Jack's reply as if he was 100% sincere

Not an ounce of intelligence found

@Tyler_McV Valve really waited for you to upload your video to drop the 7th TF2 comic

The timing is just hilarious, I mean after how many years what are the odds it drops right after

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@playcentermd A quick reply on why Valve doesn't care

Valve is a unique company, they have what's called a "flat structure" meaning no managers, no executives (outside GabeN), just employees

This means for Valve to care, an actual person at Valave would have to care not a group of executives

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@doggrW @Ta5tyy2 Not even close

Epic probably makes more money, but they spend significantly more then Valve does

Epic hire thousands of people, let's say they make 3 times what Valve does

Valve hires not even 400 people, meaning in labor costs alone Epic is spending 10 times more then Valve

@dinoman7711 @tinylittlehomie Any country that isnt also a first world county like America instantly gets controlled by American corporations once the market opens

first world country's have the resources to fight that kind of takeover

Syria? No, American companies are going to buy everything they can there

@Obscarcsity @realLegend_FGC @amorangias @DreamLeaf5 Do you have litterally ANY source to back up what your saying or did you dream this up 1 night and just decide it was real?

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@ProofYarael @SophiaNarwitz @MeowyWood That's just down to technology evolving

It's harder to showcase litterally anything when your working with such limited hardware as like the NES or SNES

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@JAwesomeSauce12 @tokyogoeshard It won't be

Generative AI can only replicate

If it ever gets to a point AI can make new content without traning data, we have the question of "have we created intelgent life"

Because at that point the AI would be truly sharing its own thoughts and"I think therefore I am"

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@koopa808 @SophiaNarwitz Not a soul is denying that, intact that has been the case for years

Hell Half Life 2, a game now 20 years old, used its AI as a selling point

The problem is companies are not pushing responsible uses right now

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@ProofYarael @SophiaNarwitz @MeowyWood Gaming has always been tied to political events

You just agreed with those politics and now that games disagree with you, all of a sudden they are political

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@Caelleigh1 @SophiaNarwitz @MeowyWood Your entire argument falls apart when you consider that corporations have the same AI tools and their output will advance just as much as "the little guy"

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@MillieCheesey @MeowyWood @SophiaNarwitz Exactly

People seem to forget the GTA games are parodies in almost every way

If GTA 6 "goes woke" it will be a parody of the whole "go woke go broke" BS, but that parody will fly over many peoples heads

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@AmberDog37 People focus on the sexual side of things

But that's not the only adult spaces that exsit, I talked ro someone who became an alcoholic because they would join drinking parties in VRchat at 14 years old

No one pressured him to drink, bit seeing everyone else and being 14, he did

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@HelsKitchen0 @AmberDog37 Tell me, your buying alcohol at yhe grocery store, they ID you, you let them ID you right?

This is no different, if you think your ID is safe because you used it at a physical location, I've got news for you, as a retail worker, I can promise you VRchat is safer then any store

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@obsessed_piece @TheFoxipso @VRChat Not really

In Europe sure, but just look at Apple, they went as far as to spilt their product stack between America and Europe, 2 sepreate versions of IOS, one GDPR complient, one not

@MidnightYuki @toothachePup @RoXo_1987 @Jacksepticeye I mean what are the odds the majority of people have ZERO things that could label them neurodivergent, the definition is so all encompassing that I promise I could find SOMETHING about most people that would put them under the label

[Throwaway @Playstatio38872]

@MidnightYuki @toothachePup @RoXo_1987 @Jacksepticeye I mean maybe? But it's just he fact the definition of neurotypical essentially boils down to "have litterally 0 things about your brain that doesn't fit this arbitrary criteria"
