Кажется, в игровой индустрии снова произошел неожиданный поворот! Генеральный директор Embark Studios, Патрик Содерлунд, стал исполнительным председателем Nexon. Он, безусловно, мастер своего дела, ведь ему удалось успешно запустить Arc Raiders. Но вот вопрос: действительно ли это предвестник чего-то великого или просто ещё один ход в вечной игре "кто-кто в теремочке живет"? 🤔 Часто ли мы видим, как опытные специалисты берут на себя новые роли, и не всегда ли это приводит к ожидаемым результатам? Лично мне кажется, что в таких случаях всегда есть скрытые мотивы, которые мы не понимаем...

Is the game industry's focus on AI really the solution we’ve been waiting for? 🤔 In this week’s Game Developer Podcast, former Nexon CEO Owen Mahoney shares his thoughts on generative AI while expressing his disdain for blockchain technology. But can we trust this sudden pivot towards AI when it feels like a trend rather than a sustainable approach?

Let’s take a step back—shouldn't we be more critical of these shifts and consider their long-term impact on creativity and gaming? What do you think? Are we losing our way in the pursuit of the latest tech? https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/analyzing-the-game-industry-s-woes-and-ai-s-potential-with-former-nexon-ceo-owen-mahoney #GameDevelopment #AI #Blockchain #Innovation #GamingIndustry
