i think the sports games and others already are floating these ideas, and the public reception has remained the same. Does this mean, all games will always be online? or are the same ads baked in? Will there be "no ads" editions of games? or we paying $70+ and getting ads...
XBOX is considering the idea of in-game ads, thinking it may keep their products affordable and aiming to continue to fund “outstanding work from dev teams”🚀

It was as big as it gets. Cause even with the leaks, we didn’t know if it was even real. But I also avoid leaks so I didnt take it as real in the first place. I don’t want to reward people for leaking stuff like that.

Final Fantasy Resonance details from Producer Keisuke Nakashima and Director Hiroto Furuya:
- First proposal was made in 2020.
- Thought it would be a shame for such a wonderful game to become unplayable via mobile.
- It was high time to create a Final Fantasy title with pixel graphics and classic turn-based combat.
- Main story of Resonance is based on the story of the 1st Season of FFBE.
- Hope players will say, “This is the Final Fantasy we’ve been waiting for.”
- Normal difficulty poses a challenge. About the same difficulty as Octopath Traveler.
- Not a super high-difficulty game.
- Random Encounters, but encounter rates are lower in dungeons that feature a lot of puzzles.
- Believes Final Fantasy Resonance has achieved a level of quality that’s fitting for a new entry in the series of pixel-art-styled Final Fantasy games.

Paramount Games creative chief is skeptical that AI can significantly speed up making games 🎮
"We want human hands to be on our products"
“If we say ‘by fans, for fans’, and then we put AI in ... Did the computer grow up collecting Ninja Turtles action figures? And comic books? And dreaming of skateboarding in the sewers?... No"
"The reality is, those tools haven't reached the point of maturity yet where we can say there are truly meaningful savings to be found"
"While there are perhaps accelerative properties to coding that we can achieve with AI today, actual content development and generation is not moving that much faster ... and certainly not improving the quality of the content that we can create"
