Trading off quality for money.

The problem is not that Ai could replace humans; the problem is that executives think they can.

Don’t make yourself (and others) false hope, it will not happen. Why? In the past Bungie officially said they don’t want support Linux. This company is quiet hostile towards Linux for whatever reason. That’s why I don’t have any hope for this game to be playable on the Deck (or in Linux general for that matter).

Sure things can change sometimes, but I would not hope on this based on speculation. Not being the party pooper here, just trying to be realistic based on history.

You can bet it will have micro transactions like a free to play game, but with an additional premium full price on top of it.

Better is relative. Also its unfair to compare one species (car) against many possible specialized species (cars). In example you don’t need to repair an expensive car, you don’t need electricity or oil and fuel (and many other stuff). Depending on where you are in the world, a horse might be “better” suited than a car.

The guy who wrote the article watches too much porn. The more you watch and see and experience something, the more you will see it everywhere.

Is it actually proven this to be a real prototype made by Valve?

This is one of my main gripes with the former Twitter discussions. Its not just for more space, but it makes text content in an image unindexable and non searchable (unless expensive Ai tools are used).

Yeah, the one with the lawsuits involved and blocking plugins and such. Search for Mullenweg.

Tumblr is owned by Automattic.

Using this technology for preservation sake is just absurd.

That’s the Copy-Paste media of today for you. Ironically its probably analyzed, write supported or maybe even completely written by Ai itself.

While I agree with you and while I am not the biggest generative Ai fan, we have to admit this is still in early phase and is just a proof of concept what the technology is capable of. The version of this game might not be as good as the original (and that’s only mildly said), that this is possible like this with artificial intelligence tools is impressive.

Its like teaching an ape to program Quake 2. Even if its a shitty version of it, it would be ground breaking.

That’s true. But there are legit ways to purchase Roms and extract them for use in your favorite emulator. In example the SNES Classic console from Nintendo, or the Genesis and Sega Games collection on Steam. If I were to buy Castlevania Advance, I would probably extract the Roms for use in RetroArch.

Maybe Emulation is something you would look into? I actually prefer emulating the games myself, over playing the official Steam version (not at least because of the Shaders). Also there are lot of Mods (also known as Romhacks) for these games.

I imagine they must have given these are playable on PC, and doing them with a mouse would be just short of impossible.

The Steam Input system allows you to customize controls with lot of features available. So if they butcher this up, you have at least tools built into the Steam Deck to customize it. But it requires some time and effort, and that’s not always someone wants to put into to play a classic game.

What do you mean by retroactively? Like deleting remotely from your system, without your permission or decision? Something what Google did with Android before too.

I disagree. Copyright is not bad.

What a dumb statement. Copyright has nothing to do with money. Copyright is for everyone.

The biggest problem with Ai is copyright.

Glue is pretty strong and can work well. If you do it right.
