@KaiyoBreeze @Retro_Bleach1 He’d probably end up restructuring things in his own image if he used it for training so whoever he’s using it on wouldn’t be able to explore the extent or limit of their abilities.

Announcement of a Final Fantasy XV remake by Creative Studio 1, with Nomura as director, Nojima as scenario writer, and Shimomura as composer. This remake would be a trilogy, the one originally planned by Nomura, telling the true story of Noctis and his companions, his relationship with Stella, as well as the mysterious connection that Noctis and Stella share through the "Eyes That See the Expiring Light of Souls."

In addition, the announcement of Final Fantasy XVII by Creative Studio 2, whose artistic direction would be inspired by a Victorian steampunk setting.

Both games would take the gameplay of Final Fantasy VII Remake as their foundation and evolve it in different directions.

People keep calling GTA 6 the longest game development ever, and it's actually not even close. Kien spent 22 years in development, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is at 18 and still not out, and Star Citizen has been going for 14 years with no release date.

GTA 6 at around 10 to 12 years just feels longer because no other game has the cultural weight of a new GTA.

What would you say has been the longest wait you've personally felt?

Take-Two's 10-K filing with the SEC says they'll share more details this summer. That's a legal document the CEO signed, so it carries way more weight than any podcast quote or leaked email.

Summer doesn't start till June 21 though.

Strauss Zelnick says Take-Two’s goal is to become the No. 1 entertainment company on the planet with the GTA 6 launch on the horizon.

GTA 5 + GTA Online has generated over $8 billion lifetime. That makes it the single most profitable entertainment product ever made, in any medium.

GTA 6's $3 billion development budget makes more sense in that context. Bring it on!

Although it's not the exact same location, you can see Rockstar's attention to detail at work. The fact that we can compare it to a trailer shot and still feel the same vibe says a lot.

There was a little bit of volatility when Take-Two announced its next earnings call date, but things have stabilized and Polymarket traders are pricing in a 28% chance of a delay for GTA 6.

[GTA BOOM @GTABOOM_]

Agreed. And the infrastructure is already going up.

Rockstar just opened a Madrid office (no announcement) to coordinate GTA 6 marketing for Spain, Portugal, and all of Latin America. Job listing gave it away.

Summer marketing push checks out.

What do you think, is this latest GTA 6 leak real?

Let's get one thing VERY clear as an industry: The HCU (Helpful Content Update) was NOT a GOOD thing for the quality of the SERPs, nor was it even really about the content on site.

It destroyed independent publishers, niche experts, and small sites with genuine first-person experience. People who'd spent years building real expertise in their verticals, creating content that was actually helpful, got wiped overnight...

And the three biggest winners? Reddit, YouTube and Quora.

One of which is owned by Google, and the other has a direct corporate partnership with them, conveniently turbocharged just before their IPO.

If helpful content is real, and Google is actually evaluating content quality, then why does the SAME content rank beautifully on a DR85 newspaper site or a Reddit thread, but barely make page 3 when it's on a DR30 niche blog that arguably has MORE expertise in that topic?

The answer is obvious, it was never about the content.

It rewarded authority, brand recognition, turbocharged UGC signals (A literal annotation in the leaked algo signals) and platform dominance.

And the independent web has gotten poorer for it.

The white hat SEOs who celebrated the HCU because they thought Google was "finally rewarding quality" were cheering for the consolidation of their own industry - And for some reason, there are some amongst us that STILL cheer it on 🤨

I don't know how anyone looks at the SERPs today, and thinks "yes, this is what quality looks like."

The algorithm killed what the guidelines said to reward.

Never trust the narrative that the house is representing - The house always wins...

@emmywayne64 Isn’t Naruto called the “Hero of the Hidden Leaf” and Sasuke “The Last Uchiha?”.

Earlier this morning, I reached out to someone to write a thread for my community on how to use Claude like a pro.

Hours later, I opened my X and saw this article.

Pause whatever you’re doing and read it for just 10 minutes.
It might change how you work forever.
