Quoting: fabertaweThe greed of those who already have more wealth than you or I could imagine is insatiable. And it's you and I that will suffer. It's both sad and maddening at the same time.

Here's to the big bang...
It feels this is the build-up to these huge cooperations you see in the sci-fi movies or games that have become so huge, control everything and no governments controls them anymore

Wasn't that the whole point of the dystopian futures depicted in the cyberpunk genre in novels? The huge megacorporations dominating society. I'm thinking of William Gibson (whom I've sadly never read), Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, etc. And then there are all the films too. A lot of these authors had the imagination to foresee what seems to be coming about now.

Wikipedia sums it up nicely: to"Themes typical of a dystopian society include: complete control over the people in a society through the use of propaganda and police state tactics, heavy censorship of information or denial of free thought, worship of an unattainable goal, the complete loss of individuality, and heavy enforcement of conformity."
Yup, this just feels like the build up to it, the big corps are almost free to do as they please under the current US administration, and in case of crossing the line a donation here or there helps. Still think ai will go the way of hyperion as I posted here but those mega cooperations I think that will happen don't fit in there.....

GOG did an AMA and here's some highlights - like how they'll continue using generative AI

I dislike AI with a passion, but it is foolish to think any company will say no to AI from now on and forward, not a single company will say that, including the so beloved steam.
At least they did not lie about it.

Steam Machine & Steam Frame FAQ - RAM and storage crisis to blame for no pricing or dates

A delay on the Machine might make sense but also means that if they going to release it, for example, next year, it will get even more critique on the low specs since a year has passed and cpu/gpu will continue to develop. Add to that the fact they probably must have signed some deal with AMD for the current chip they sort of stuck with it.

So they can either sell now at to high a price because of the market
Or they sell next year with outdated specs for a still high price (memory won't drop big time next year)

Although this is very cool, I am a bit worried about their own kernel, more in the sense of anti cheat kernel drivers appearing in their kernel. But maybe I am to negative.

Fable, Forza Horizon 6 and more from Xbox Developer Direct 2026

Quoting: hell0That aside, the Fable reboot is developed by the same guys as Forza (at least those that weren't fired) and will use the same engine. Sounds odd to me but we'll see.
Fast Traveling in the new Fable involves an F40, so makes sense 😇

The trend to "reboot" franchises needs to die already. At this point, it's just a lazy attempt to capitalise on nostalgia for a past success.
And that is exactly the sad reason that is never going to stop, it's simple, easy, cheap and in a few years will be mostly AI work retouching games for re-releases
