AI is fine for coding no one gives a shit you coded your inventory system by yourself when it's been done over a million times. Gen AI looks like shit so as long as they weren't planning to ship it no one cares.

This looks like the Union just complaining about retarded shit as always.

ok? they can and WILL be fired if they make shitty games that make no money. and blizzcon is around the corner. they'll announce their games and after a few months they will be fired. just that now they gotta pay them a little more after they are fired or the lay offs will come a bit later

Copilot sucks ass and grows increasingly inferior to Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, and even Gemini at this point. In fact, I think Copilot is so shit that MS is looking into leasing their AI servers to those other companies to run their models on it. Microslop tried ramming Copilot down everyone's throats for at least two years and they still couldn't get anyone to adopt it.

t. techanon whose company pays for Copilot and nobody uses it lol

You are no longer the target audience. Video game journalists that think video games are for losers with no future are the target audience. When Blizzard sees failed media critics, they think "Yeah, these are the heroes of tomorrow!"
>>
>>747269563
So now they can continue doing a horrible job and not get fired over it, great. They pushed really hard for this because the next retail expansion will be pure slop and fears being fired over it, they couldn't even launch a fucking patch without it breaking the game.. holy shit

/v/ will never stop seething because they are jobless and don't understand that unionized workers have better wages, better benefits, and better rights on average than non-unionized workers and don't get ass raped by Jews.
>>
>>747277321
It will never work when there's a ton laid off devs looking for work and even more people looking to get into the industry. You'd need the games industry to be doing well and have trouble hiring people with any relevant skills. Most of the people in these video game unions are likely fairly replaceable and big companies are willing to suffer some delays from strikes and consequent firings for lack of production if it means they don't have to bow to a small, inexperienced union for years on end.
>>747284239
Even in a large trade union you can get fired, it's just that those unions have multiple jobs and you can get hired somewhere again. That isn't the case with these single company unions.

I'm not even against unions in theory (there's plenty of reasons to be skeptical or critical of them though) they can and do provide benefits and balance to workers in many industries but they aren't the panacea for poor working conditions and low pay that some people seem to think they are.
>>
>>747269563
They already formed a union against making games.

W-WHAIT IS THAT A _____
>>
>>747284557
>job security
they aren't getting shit. just organized bargaining rights protected by federal law. against a company notorious for skirting them. every single game union causes layoffs. it's easier to break than a starbucks or amazon store because game studios count the same as factories do for labor unions. close the factory/studio, say "them's the breaks!" and get tossed on your ass.

Microsoft is probably looking to firesale Blizzard or its IPs this very moment.

AI doesn't just dream the slop up on it's own, it needs a human to tell it what to do.
Don't assume this means Blizzard aren't going to be using AI, because they 100% are.

The fuck are you talking about, Blizzard North was deleted about two decades ago.
The sloppers left in that company haven't made a good game in about the same time, and them negotiating some bullshit is not going to suddenly make them good at making games.
Furthermore, the kind of person that requires union negotiations to be valued by the company either is not worth much, or is working at the wrong place.
