Bouncing off the "Introducing Playground" video that cwebber shared. https://social.coop/@cwebber/117406111281812894

What's clear here to me, is how this new videogame development process is being framed.

If you watch the video, there isn't any actual sense that it's enabling a new generation of storytellers; it's not depicting a process that involves actual creative expression.

It's all framed as one attention economy dopamine roller coaster that can be mined of bite sized meme-able moments.

No one could watch this trailer and imagine someone might use this process to build a game that emotionally touches someone, or challenges someone. It reduces an actual art form, to jangling keys in front of a child to distract them.

The whole attitude is "To hell with art." Who cares if this slop might cannibalize actual creative expressions, with intent, meaning or narrative? #NeverAI #AntiAI #Videogames
