You read one of the few legible excerpts from** The Metal Body and Her Wet Rosy**:

“Your cold resist score is 100.”

I believe she refers to the concept of her new game, authenticity = social media/word of mouth from influencers that people trust. Viralbility, memebility, social media and coop are the heart of it, leveraging social media as the central marketing force through the players has been a thing for sandbox games for quite a while.

This article feels like a sign that devs are finally acknowledging that market potential; it has nothing to do with authenticity, it’s just that social media “feels” more authentic than game journalism, though.

Blame marketing research, CEO Sharon Tal Yguado thinks Gen-Z + sandbox + live service = authentic.

To make video games for Gen Z, be authentic

“To say that Gen Z and Gen Alpha are into live-service games is only half the story. These games offer a social space for players to hang out and be creative. For them, it’s not about winning in a competitive online shooting match but about expressing themselves and exploring in a virtual sandbox.” “Plus, just because Gen Z and Gen Alpha not playing those $70 titles now doesn’t mean they won’t in the future. Yguado believes that those players will “graduate” from Roblox and other sandbox titles, although they probably won’t be leaving Roblox forever. Games won’t be going away just because Roblox is around. You just have to meet new players where they are and on their own terms.”

May as well go the No Man’s Sky free update route; this would get them a lot of income in the long run. Since they all rely on variety as a gimmick.
Very good for simulator titles with hyperrealistic graphics.
Sorry, I am pretty determined that slop games exist, and I am happy settled with certain game design philosophies. No need for some moral police to say that is wrong. xD
Maybe? People are so salty about this, I wonder how this tech will go xD The alternative here is a mod that requires you to pay a subscription monthly w/ IP DRM I would like to see SCS’ answer.
It would look great with Euro Truck Simulator, their style pairs well.
The only good application of DLSS5 I could’ve think of is Euro Truck Simulator 2, hyperrealism would pair well with the game.
