*Sigh* Say what you will about Greedy lego as a company, the lego games back in the day were so much fun, had so much charisma.
This is really punch in the D knowing there was a James Bond Lego game in the works.
The Lego games are such a fun idea and it sucks that they stopped doing them really.

I love the idea because these games are for grown ups and kids while celebrating beloved IPs.
A Lego James Bond could have been a ton of fun.

That is a shame.
While these games might not be THE best, they dared to touch these IPs and that is always something good.
We need more studios that dare to tackle famous IPs.

Perhaps if the actors were respected and not treated as merely mocap for future AI development of their likeness and no residuals they would come back.

More like Microslop Copilot presents CAIl of Duty.

ActiVision is really trying to earn the top spot over EA as the most greedy video game company out there with moves like this.

 

[Mani-Man]

Its such a pointless thing because i guarantee you that there are thousands of artists out there that can Do better art.
But its NOT about quality, its about fast and cheap.

More stupid AI bull****.

The internet is becoming bots collaborating with and feuding with other bots because of corporate greed and various governments propaganda campaigns.

 

[Mani-Man]

The one fun thing is that AI and bots at some point, dont make a difference between the greedy companies that use them, and those they are supposed to hurt.
Which will be on its own, fun 5 minutes...but other than that, the internet will become less and less useable.

Which is why the term "Time is a circle" is seemingly more and more fitting.
The theory is that we will abandon the internet at some point because its only run by AI and bots that interact, while Humans will abandon it and start going out more again.
Going back to the time before the internet because the Internet will become useless.
