Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of 'natural stupidity'
βWe are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy ... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger ... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty"

Yaβll quite literally dropped a trailer last week saying Senua is dropping in 2027, and shut the studio down a week later. How is anyone supposed to believe a word you guys say anymore?
They've already closed so many prominent studios that they are simply scraping by. Halo and Gears can only do so much for them. They killed their hardware division, they ruined Game Pass's potential, and they've destroyed a ton of goodwill.
They've become less than desirable.
100%. Microsoft shot themselves in the foot this generation, and because of their own doing, Xbox hardware shouldn't even be a topic of discussion. That's dying.
Xbox should simply embrace the publisher/multi-platform strategy. Shutting down studios is going to bite them badly.
