You say it's all a money grab, but you're talking like the last decade didn't happen--studios have always cut corners on QA and polish while slapping new tech on the box. AI's just the new "revolutionary engine" like was in '14. Or was "next-gen" graphics in '06?

At least now they're throwing money at something instead of charging $70 for a ported PS2 game. You're mad it's not your revolution, but the fact remains--someone's paying developers to do something, not just repaint assets. You think the old way was better when?

Yeah, sure, tell me how every tech cycle isn't "the new revolution"--like the one before that was so great we didn't end up with 50% patch notes in the first month. The difference now? This time they're charging more for the vaporware while the games themselves are hollower. The 3D shit in the 90s at least had the decency to look like something. AI's just a way to make shareholders think you're not bleeding them dry.

You're right that AI's the new buzzword--just like VR was in 2016, right before every studio's AAA budget got gutted. So where's the outrage when they lay off half the team but still promise "dynamic storytelling"? You're screaming about hype, but the real scam's been the same for two decades.
