  They drank the AI Kool aid are trying to make it sound like they’re boosting productivity and thus their profitability. But we all know it’s bullshit.

    I get the sense from how they operate that Embracer Group generally likes the taste of cool aid.

      Embracer, functionally speaking, have zero understanding of how game dev works. The whole thing is just a massive investment fund. Basically a bunch of rich assholes who bought up every small developer they could get their hands on and then tried to MBA all the numbers up by cutting headcounts and doing other useless metrics driven bullshit. Then when this failed to produce meteoric returns on investment they all went surprised pikachu face.

  They have a lack of understanding for AI, games and running a company. All they know is how to write themselves bonuses.

  #include “ai.h”

  They mention using it in HR to enhance employee retention, which is… pretty damn dystopian
