I'm sure he'll do it right after launching Hyperloop

Elon's companies have been successful despite his input, not because of it. If you're interested, do some reading on how middle-management protected their teams from his nonsense in both Tesla and SpaceX, basically just feeding him bullshit that sounded good and ignoring him whenever possible. Those people are why the companies have thrived.
Shit, just look at Twitter before and after. The valuation difference is staggering.
So the next greatest game will just be "around the corner" and "nearly complete" every year for decades then?
Don't forget, he knows more about manufacturing game development than anyone currently alive on earth.
Him and Todd Howard would get along
How about we hang that fuckwad in a public forum instead?
Then let's get ready for a ww2 game where you save Nazis instead of killing them. And then you shoot the American troops and call them "woke libs" /s
He is the most unlikeable twat on the planet.
From one of the most respected individuals to an absolute joke of a man in a few years.
yea I guess at those times he wasn't very present in social media and everything we heard about him likely came from his PR team.
Doesn't he know Epic Games studio already exists? The market for grand-standing self-righteous game-makers is pretty tapped at this point.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any edgier with a black MAGA hat, I noticed the font he used….
I can't even begin to imagine how fucking lame and cringe a game made by Elon Musk would be. Much less how buggy and unplayable.
You play as doge and collect dogecoins to spend on memes. The game is called X and it runs a crypto miner on your gpu when you play it (you get coins in game, Elon gets coins in real life).
You can pay for X premium for $10/month which unlocks cosmetics and lets you access the members-only chatroom
Considering the growth he's experienced from his 20s to now, he'll probably try and make a Quake 2 clone.
I'll be pissed if elon starts pumping out good games. I don't count on it but looking at the market it's not impossible.
I mean he already said the word AI which means he is going to likely favor output volume over the love indie devs and old companies poured into their games. So chances are very slim. Knowing him, I guess the game will be about some genius who tries to save the world and go to Mars and be the sole male responsible for repopulation. So yeah, it might turn into a Larry game which takes itself too seriously.
He's made it abundantly clear how much he despises the entire concept of labor, of having to pay money to people to do the things that actually make a company work. He will not be able to build a company that actually makes games with that kind of disdain for the single most important resource required to make them. And his strategy of acquiring an existing company and gutting it afterwards won't be nearly as effective in the games industry, where you have to be continuously producing NEW content.
I loved it when Amazon, Google, and Netflix got into the gaming industry and tried to throw billions of dollars and their startup software expertise to "revolutionize" game studios.
Releasing even bad games is already a feat. Considering how Musk doesn't know how to run a web development company I would be surprised if his "game studio" releases anything. The only way that company releases anything is if Musk won't be involved, and we know the "expert at everything" will be involved.
He should make a meta verse. I still won't buy it, but having 2 of them completely fall flat because a billionaire thought they knew what entertainment was would almost be as funny as that time Sony re-released Morbius in theaters.
I mean, sure, go ahead.
It’s one of the most benign things he does and it’s not like it’s gonna affect existing good game.
Good thing I've always wondered "what if someone did an Activision, but worse?"
Looking forward to Diakatana2, now with more neon frogs!
"Elon Musk is gonna make you his bitch."
But this time, actually true if you buy his games.
Talented people fail to make a career in gaming. Idc how many mines his daddy owned, he's not going to make a good game. Although we should encourage him to do it. Making games would obviously waste the time he uses to harass people.
Let's not forget: he's not making shit. He's gonna pay some poor fucks a pittance (if he decides to pay them at all) to make a lousy fps or whatever
Musk should buy Bethesda. Gut it like he gutted Twitter. Start development on something random -- the Elder Scrolls VI: Kingdom of Doge.
When it comes out, it will be a horrible, poorly made mess. Just like a regular Bethesda game but extra enshittified. He can charge extra for it to make it seem super premium.
People will eat it up.
Worked for Tesla.
Edit: /s obvs
Ah yes, gaming. That one industry you can't really fake past a certain point or everyone will boycott, call it boring or go on strike?
Perfect. Good decisions. Waste as much money as possible. I hope Ubisoft is in on it. Take as many shit-for-brains publishers and devs as you can gather. They forget half of the industry is wearing knee-high socks and cat ears. Propaganda games will go over like trying to sell kale to a shark.
Forget what these folks say; it's all an excuse to start companies that can be awarded no-bid contracts from the government they "want to dismantle"
Cannot wait for him to start putting out soon to be classic titles like "Ethnic Cleansing", "Concentration Camp Simulator", and "Deportation Station" to counter the woke libtards.
