""Genuinely, what this industry needs is not more mathematically produced, psychologically trained gameplay loops, [but] rather more expressions of worlds that folks are engaged with, or want to engage with," Douse posted online. "AI has its place as a tool, but we have all the tools in the world, and they aren't compensating for the incredible lack of cogent direction. AI isn't going to solve the big problem of the industry, which is leadership and vision.""
""Those who will succeed are those who are people building something for people," Douse added, while also decrying how the technology sector had fallen victim to "cash-grabs" led by venture capital firms. "There is no craft without the human touch; the relative skill issue, or 'the exhibition of otherness.' To turn games into digital, emotionless content is to abandon all resonance--which is why people play!""
Elon Musk claimed that his xAI game studio will deliver a 'great' AI-generated game by the end of 2026. Industry professionals criticized the prediction, with Larian Studios publishing director Michael 'Cromwelp' Douse arguing that games need expressions of engaging worlds rather than mathematically produced gameplay loops. Douse said AI has a place as a tool but cannot compensate for a lack of cogent direction, leadership, and vision. He added that success belongs to people building for people and warned against technology-sector 'cash-grabs' driven by venture capital. Musk has a history of overpromising on projects like Hyperloop and self-driving cars.
