I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.
Let’s play a game: Ramaphosa Address Bingo.
□ “We condemn all forms of violence and lawlessness.”
□ “South Africa is a nation governed by the rule of law.”
□ “We acknowledge the concerns of communities.”
□ “We cannot blame foreign nationals for all our problems.”
□ “A multi-stakeholder task team will be established.”
□ “Government departments will work together to address the matter.”
□ “We are strengthening border management.”
□ “Law enforcement agencies have been instructed to act.”
□ “We must balance security with human rights.”
□ “Social cohesion is important.”
□ “We call on communities to remain calm.”
□ “Those who break the law, regardless of nationality, will face consequences.”
□ “We are engaging regional partners.”
□ “This matter requires a whole-of-government approach.”
□ “South Africans and foreign nationals must live in peace.”
□ “A report will be submitted to Cabinet.”
□ “We remain committed to finding lasting solutions.”
Did I miss any of the classics?😂
The mother of Nhlamulo Sambo (19) who was killed in Mossel Bay, Western Cape because he spoke Tsonga during the protests of illegal immigrates speaks up. How did we get here as a Country?
[BREAKING] A house robbery has been reported at Naledi Pandor's home in Villieria in Pretoria. Three armed suspects allegedly entered the property on Friday night. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.
The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.
And he said it without being anti-AI.
Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.
Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.
The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.
And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.
Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.
The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.
What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.
Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.
Those are different jobs.
📺 UBANI LORE?
