kirbysuperstar posted:They did not, and would have done this project even if they didn't sell Eidos Tomb Raider and Deus Ex are pretty huge (plus some other notable IPs, but they are a bit niche), licensing them out to developers would give a larger return than selling them at firesale prices. Winding down their overseas offices might make financial sense though. SE still have a ton of games in development. It's hard to say without having more insight into their financials.

Stuff like Forspoken, the FF7 remake and Harvestella should have pretty broad appeal, I wouldn't be surprised if they come out with some more crossover titles in 2023. But SE sometimes make extremely weird decisions, so maybe I'm just trying to impose rational decision making on something which really isn't.

There can be a ton of organizational inertia once a project or department has spun up, especially if a director's job or prestige depends on its continued existence.

…setting up a machine learning algorithm to do the job would take significantly more work than just importing the item manually? And would require hiring talent that can easily contract for 4 figures an hour.

To be fair, postal services are hurting bad because costs are skyrocketing. The only mail they handle now is e-retail packages.CharlestonJew posted:They think you can just ask ChatGPT to code all of that poo poo for you and you’ll have a fully functioning game front to back within an hour Yeah no. Beyond labour, they’d also have to pay one of the big providers for ML and the pricing is probably crap unless they are doing it at a large scale.
