They're all overpaid and entirely useless.

Cut em out, split up their exorbitant paychecks to literally everyone else that does more for the company.

The fucking janitors are more useful to the game development process than CEOs.

I would keep myself far away from the fans and if they told us to give the game and the developers a chance then it will never happen

Also I'm way less concerned with the "can" than I am with the "should"

Like yeah, we CAN poison the water supply and ruin the ability for people to even PLAY these games to allow these data centers to exist, but SHOULD we? Hell fucking no.

this is all really really weird for them to start saying out loud after they announced "we are hiring real people to voice the characters now". im now assuming that was a lie or a fake article that just seemed convincing enough at the time.

I hate the lack of disclosure. I created a business plan with the help of AI and added some agency back to it. Let's start with some freedom on rails.

I love when devs say stuff like this and I’m like “bitch, I don’t own this game nor do I have any interest in playing it even if it didn’t have AI shit in it”.

I’m so burned out on live services.

In Game Awards, I remember the dude wanted this game to win (which it did) & I'm like "dude, suck a dick". He's probably being an old boomer ass.

... You'd think they'd have chosen a better analogy than that. But then again, this IS Nexon...

Tell me what the first thing that comes to your mind is when you hear or read "trojan horse", because it's the variety of virus for me.

i despise everything that this company made. In finals they monetized everything making you a walking wallet. In arc they acted like they are incredibly poor, poor rich company with a unimaginable monetization, AND THEY STILL HAVE GUTS TO USE AI, GO TO HELL BITCHES!

apparently the studio has been a nexon subsidary since 2021 even if store pages only name embark as developer and publisher...

nexon is widely known for sleazy p2w and gacha gambling practices in their own titles, so i'm sure they'd love to cut costs more in their mmos with slop in place of artists

cant have anything good without CEOs and AI messing it up. I played one of the open testing weekends and their previous game The Finals, the games themselves are fun, but the AI voices left such a bad taste in my mouth not mention just how awkward it sounds.

(they even replaced the only real VA voice-lines in the game at one point).
And now to find out arc raiders use Gen-AI, and with how bad the new cosmetic set in the shop looks, think they may be using that shit in The Finals too now. FUCK AI

they call it a trojan horse because its anti-cheat is probably root access.
making it similar to a trojan virus

They... do know the Trojan Horse was a *bad* thing for Troy, right? That it was key to the destruction of the city? That know that, right?

Yes, that seems to be what they're saying, with it "sneaking" the game's content through; The "city" being likened to the general rejection of such content.

yeah and let me ask you a question is Nexon the trojans or are they the ones who made the horse.

Because we're the trojans and this is gloating from their CEO about how they smuggled it into the city.

Also "trojan horse" in the context of computer programs has got a really, really bad signification.
The only context where "troyan" is well received is the subject of safe sex.

I spent a collective decade warning people about Nexon but I see how it is.
