I saw some early demos and hoped that AI could bring about a revolution in on-the-fly procedural generated content for gaming to do things that would be literally impossible by other methods. But no, instead it has been used to replace artists to produce poor-quality pre-generated static content and I couldn’t be more disappointed.
I would hope that any competent person can see that this can not end well.
Google must know that they are not a monopoly in search.
Number of search queries is such a bad metric for quality of your product. If your search is trash then the user is going to need more queries to get a satisfactory answer. That is, until they stop using your service of course.

No, you totally can dive into a pile of gold and swim in it and they should definitely all try it. It works better the higher the diving board is.

I’m almost never willing to pay current AAA game prices for a game that it’s possible I’ll be bored with after a few hours. I’d much rather spend the same amount on 3 or 4 well-reviewed indie games as the chances are I’ll get at least one game amongst them that I’ll enjoy investing my time into.
One of the games you can download on Android with a Netflix subscription is Into the Breach. I played that game so much while I had a subscription. It plays so well on mobile and I wish I could just pay the devs to own a copy but sadly Netflix is the only way to play it on that platform. I doesn’t quite seem worth resubbing to Netflix for one game.
I just want games where the devs get to release the game they wanted to make without the studio enshittification microtransactions, always-online single player and so on tagged on to it.
This affects anyone who relies on American payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal), so is very much a global issue.
