I bet they have some internal policy to install some kind of drm / spyware so you don’t keep games when your game pass expires or something and that requires development work. Corporate legal things.

I bet no devs are left to fix bugs and compile those old games to new platform, so those are abandonwares.

Oh no acquisition strategy stopped working. Wait until they realize if they won’t make enough new good games their subscriptions will start to fade out because game industry is not the same as video or music.

Singapore is replacing it’s population with AI robots.

That is called freedom of choice, apparently people are used to totalitarian system where everything should look the same and perfect for masses.

Hideo Kojima Says His New Game Is Now In “Crunch Time,” Wonders How Much Longer He Can Stay Creative “Every day feels like I’m racing against the clock.”

Between Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, Physint, and OD, Hideo Kojima is a very busy developer and keenly aware that time is catching up to him. On X/Twitter, Kojima explained how he’d like to keep being creative for the rest of his life, but as he enters “crunch time” on one of his game projects, he’s not sure how long that’ll be. As Kojima explained, all the work associated with producing a video game combined with “an inevitable pile of other tasks” can take a mental and physical toll on a person.

The most demanding period of game development—both physically and mentally—commonly known as “crunch time.” On top of mixing and Japanese voice recording, there’s an inevitable pile of other tasks: writing comments, explanations, essays, interviews, discussions, and… https://t.co/FrXRgaS748 — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) January 10, 2025

Kojima also compared himself to veteran Hollywood director Ridley Scott, who continues to work on big-budget films like last year’s Gladiator sequel. “Even now, at 87, Ridley Scott is still active. And back when he was past 60–my current stage in life–he created the masterpiece Gladiator,” Kojima wrote.

At this age, I can’t help but think about how much longer I’ll be able to stay “creative.” I want to keep going for the rest of my life, but is it 10 more years? 20? Every day feels like I’m racing against the clock. Even now, at 87, Ridley Scott is still active. And back when he… https://t.co/HivXYY4PHC — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) January 13, 2025

This isn’t the first time that Kojima has mused about how his physical health. Back in 2021, after he turned 58, Kojima promised to stay creative for as long as he is physically able to do so. “Although my body is failing me, my creativity is not waning yet. Until my brain loses its creative power, I’ll continue to strive to create things. That’s my instinct, and that’s what I love to do,” Kojima wrote at the time.

Currently, Kojima has a lot on his plate. His next game release is expected to be Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, he’s partnered with Microsoft and Oscar-winning filmmaker Jordan Peele to work on the “risky” OD, and Physint was inspired by fans who kept asking him to make another Metal Gear game. On top of all that, there’s the Death Stranding film adaptation that’ll be co-produced by A24, a project that Kojima is hoping will stand out when compared to other video game movies.

I can’t wait for destkop computers burning houses.

I am starting to believe that current “AI” is way for corporate to gatekeep the knowledge and as you said lead us to idiocracy. On the other hand people always amaze me on how they can collectively find the way out from these situations and turn the cards to their side. So there is always hope.

Writing code is last thing you want to do as senior SWE because every line of code is potential debt and maintenence problem.
The just write code bro, figure out things later attitude is good for R&D, MVP and POC that is like 10% of job.

Just like with art, writing code like drawing is just a skill. AI is trying to replace the obvious part (that is actually the reward from thinking and describing problem in your head) because it can’t replace thinking. Removing rewards bring us to depression, depression bring us to death.

Ergo AI will kill economy with no people left to replace it so we will end up to being monkas.
That’s why I’d say SWE will go to farm and wait untill people in cities will start starving to death because AI stopped working and there is nobody left to fix it.

The next thing seems to be the discord (or any instant messenger ) channel for the project. That’s my wild guess. I don’t like it but looks like people are shifting from the web to instant communicators, so the knowledge is not perserved.
Thanks AI

It was called newspaper back in the day. Printing something was expensive so quality must have been good, that people were willing to read it. And social part was provided by posting letter to the newspaper adress with a hope to be printed.

There are ternary computers - just not so popular. Maybe when Carbon nanotube computers will take off it will be a thing.

Technically speaking every country is a company and government is supervisory board elected by citizens that are owners that pay wages that are called tax. Just the purpose of country establishement is different or used to be different before 21th century. Right now the differentce is not so much visible as it was 100 or even 1000 years ago where people that were government leaders (kings, princes, lords, army generals) fought with people for independence and human rights. Right now elected people are no different than influencers or actors. They just do stuff to get to the table, not more not less.

No it’s not. Just learn how to use search instead of doing it like it’s only for software developers. It’s not 1999 anymore.
