Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you

That said, this makes it far easier to ask for help and kids might just rely on it too much instead of figuring stuff out on their own.

With the hotline and guides you still had to actually play yourself. This is a step further, you just watch the game play itself.

At least, it’s not just someone watching a YouTube video of someone else playing… though I imagine some of that is just due to affordability.
I know my young nephew gets frustrated on some games and then just gives up… even if he knows what to do. Maybe when he’s older he could get better at those, but by that time, he’ll be on to something else.

I would much rather pay nothing to watch a human being play a video game than purchase a video game just to watch the game play itself. I say this as someone who has zero interest in twitch, let’s play, etc.
Just save your money and pirate a fucking a movie at that point.
