      are you kidding? god, please YES. I can’t wait for the inevitably shitty games this studio would shart out. it’s gonna be like those anti woke cartoons.

      vacuous, cynical rehashing of extremely outdated ideas with zero artistic vision and almost certainly full of stupid references to memes and ancient pop culture? PLEASE LET US HAVE IT NOW

        The game will play as primitively as a forgotten shitty early 90s game but somehow need 8gb of hard drive space, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (64GB recommended) and a GeForce 4090 for the minimum settings. It will also look EXACTLY like an early 90s game, with a resolution of 320x240 and not a pixel more! Think God of Thunder but only without the charm, or the fact that it was made by one person, or the fact that the guy put real effort into it. Have a team of thousands who are paid next to nothing to simply train an AI model and call it a day.

        Edit: It will also cost 110$ at launch, cost 0.05$ per minute of play (0.10$ in peak hours), and all purchases in the game require actual real life money to be used to buy doge coin which will actually be the only thing you can use.

        The main characters “tag line” it says after a gib is “The cake WAS a lie!” and acts like Duke Nukem, but looks like Elong.

          Borderlands 2 but every character is claptrap completely unironically and it contains none of the elements that make it one of fhe great games of all time

      No, this is great. It wastes Musk’s money hopefully paying people to make something that wouldn’t be otherwise. It doesn’t matter if what comes out is garbage. Just don’t buy it. More of his money needs to be spent helping, and the government won’t do it so the best we can hope for is him just doing it by being a fucking moron.
