This should be settled faster than the previous strikes. Video games are the highest earning medium out there...so expect...oh wait, what am I thinking...they'll just outsource and use AI lol

EA are the ones who specifically said they want to use AI to speed up development so good luck finding a deal with them

EA makes sense. The rest maybe. See how long this one goes. And the impact it will have for upcoming games.

They have made themselves irrelevant. Not because of AI but because of their response to it. Most of them are probably DEI hires anyway.

Well hope they enjoy going bankrupt. AI is coming whether you like it or not. And this gives companies incentive to look for cheaper alternatives now.

And seeing that take twos has also fallen under the strike I guess that means we possibly wouldn’t get GTA6 until 26 or 27?

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving and has the potential to shape our future. While some may have concerns about its impact on certain professions, it is important to recognize that the rise of AI does not necessarily mean that artists will become obsolete. In fact, the democratization of art through technology has made it possible for anyone to explore their creativity and pursue artistic endeavors. For those who are passionate about art and driven to succeed, the opportunities are boundless. Embracing innovation and collaboration between humans and AI can lead to exciting new possibilities in the art world. (I made this tweet with using AI) 😁.. ......

WB , Disney, and EA certainly need this. But I’m more than sure Insomniac will be among the first to the workers defense since their recent issues were industry wide not them specifically.

Well AI runs the item shop in Fortnite, which made the shop worse, Take Two has been screwing up NBA 2k a lot and lately with the cover of 2k25, and Electronic Arts being…well, “modern gaming”
