I wonder how much of this is Elon’s idea or if it’s actually the idea of the people he is employing. AI is a very obvious place where video games will see some kind of innovation, good or bad as that may be.
I personally don’t think the problem with games is the big corporations. The main problem is the missing middle. Similar to movies, you’ve got big budget lowest common denominator blockbusters and you’ve got scrappy indie titles and not much in between.
I think it’s hard for interesting niche games with deep mechanics to get enough funding to be fleshed out as a satisfying experience. Instead, those niche titles might get created by indies but they can never really live up to the ideal vision of that game.
Do we have enough context to know id he's devoting attention or just saying random shit that other people pick up on and amplify? It only takes a couple of minutes to exchange a few tweets. He's so ADD and driven, this is like 0.01% of his attention.
Probably not. I read a hot take on twitter that really resonated with me. If you can be CEO of three different companies, then the CEO job probably isn't very critical or difficult.
