    Well, at least they’ve got a full team for the next Mass Effect? Until they get hit in the next mass layoff, that is.

    I wonder how many writers they actually keep b/c it feels like none

      Who needs writers when you can hire one underpaid editor with no real experience to turn LLM slop into a somewhat readable script?

        Script??? Think bigger, friend, you don’t need developers, just tell the AI what you want and compile.

          If you don’t have a script, what are the Generative Vocal Algorithms going to speak for the game? Or mass text word dumps to put on the screen for either no where near enough for an average person to read or so much longer than it actually needs to be?

            “Oh, don’t worry, we’ll just have the Generative Vocal Algorithms start reciting the Bee Movie script. And for text, how about a 500-page dissertation on the philosophical implications of loot boxes? It’ll either be avant-garde brilliance or the perfect cure for insomnia. Your move!”
