It’s definitely making their job harder on the face of it, but it also differentiates them from other ad companies, so I guess they’re betting on that being a draw for potential clients.

Advertising isn’t going anywhere, so investing in/supporting ways to more ethically serve ads without harvesting private data seems like a good thing?
I think BioShock just got grandfathered in through its System Shock lineage.
Except for all the small studios also struggling or going out of business because getting investment right now is really, really hard.
The megacorp closures and redundancies are far from the entire story, they’re just the headline grabbers.
Wow - Take Two shuttering this studio AND Roll7 (OlliOlli, Rollerdrome) just a month after they announced they’re buying Gearbox for almost half a billion. Absolutely catastrophic mismanagement. What a shitshow.
Each to their own, but I personally can’t imagine having to replace a faulty product 5 times and still wanting to use it
Can they not just send a DMCA takedown notice to the host of that web server?
As mentioned in the article, these are all union VAs and their new agreement explicitly protects them from AI being used without their permission.

As a dev who has worked on mobile games:
The stores have a serious problem with discovery which makes it unreasonably difficult to find the good original games in the sea of shovelware, but the good stuff IS out there.
People say they hate free-to-play and that they’d happily pay once for access like a normal game, but the stats say otherwise. Almost no one pays for premium mobile games, and that’s why no one bothers making them.
People who use ‘mobile game’ as an insult are usually wilfully ignorant about the platform and just have an axe to grind.
There’s no such thing as a zero-effort port
Not to suggest that Disney is innocent or couldn’t have done more to avoid this, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn that the marketing art materials were outsourced to a dedicated studio who decided to use AI (possibly even without telling Disney).
Lots of outsource-focused art studios overpromise and overstretch to win their contracts, and then the artists end up having to cut corners to meet the crazy deadlines they’ve been given.
The problem is, where do those experts come from? Expertise is earned through experience, and if all the entry-level jobs go away then eventually you’ll run out of experts.

Time to uninstall Windows 11 and go back to 3.11! Sure, it won’t run anything made since the mid 90s at best, but what it does run will surely be lightning fast!!
