alt Hacker NewsThe most interesting aspect, I think, is that we can now change the games as we like.
I want Animal Crossing to have an infinite world. I want it to be an MMO. I want the animals to have much better intelligence - for example, if I'm a bad neighbor, maybe they should team-up against me.
Zelda MMO will also be cool. It's just a matter of time. Like two weeks.
These are easy to do now. It's an amazing time to be alive.

This underestimates how much thought needs to go into a game, let alone an MMO.
Like just to start,how are you going to balance intelligence so that it's fun? The AI doesn't magically know.
It's an AMAZING time for mods. The list of mods for games that support it is growing fast. I would start listing them but I'm sure you can check your favorite game and just see for yourself. What I don't care for is Nexusmods. More and more people are getting into indie game dev with the support of AI now and while yes it will produce more slop and crappy games, it will also produce some really good new ones. We need more NEW franchises.
An interesting lesson people will learn is that what we, with child-like wonder, believe will be cool, will turn out to just be a Disneyland of propertyhodgepodge which will not make for an interesting game per-se.
But those that will persist through the awkwardness, might find gold. Zelda Four Swords was a banger after all
