    Just screw disabled people eh?

    Somethings aren’t possible for people to do, this would allow them to enjoy playing games still.

      Are you really playing the game if the game is just playing itself?

          Depends how they implement it. Older option was to use cheats to skip parts and maybe watch a video if you want to see what happened in the part you skipped.

        Just certain sections. You could get it to do the whole thing I guess.

        You would still be experiencing the story as it’s meant to be told. Why do you think you have to “play” to fully enjoy something?

        Why do you think “let’s play” videos exist? Now instead, they can support the devs by buying the game and experiencing it themselves.

          Why do you think you have to “play” to fully enjoy something?

          Where do you think I said or even implied this?

          Why do you think “let’s play” videos exist?

            Your previous comment says exactly that. Your own words.

            So now they can support the dev and actually participate! Even better! Except for according to you.

              Please go ahead and quote where you think it says either of those things.

                People enjoy different things, and you don’t need to play something to enjoy it. Your words.

                People love watching sports, they aren’t playing are they?

                Hell even point and click games exist, and those “play themselves” while you merely interact with the screen.

                  You were supposed to quote a part that said either of those things, instead of simply asking if it counts as playing the game if the game is doing the playing for you.

                  People love watching sports, they aren’t playing are they?

                  That’s… exactly the point?

                  you merely interact with the screen.

                  In a point and click game if you are pointing and clicking it sounds like you are playing the game?

      You don’t need an AI to skip, bypass, or cinematic your way through a difficult section. That’s a game design issue, not a patentable AI issue. This does not support disabled people, this will be used to ignore disabled people during game design and fire people who are actually competent at supporting disabled people.

        This doesn’t prevent the other from happening. Why are you assuming that? Both can work hand in hand to deal with different issues

        Of course, if you just want to come in and see a company as evil, you won’t ever see the other side.

        Sony is pretty good with their accessibility program, I don’t see why things would suddenly turn 180. Unless you just want to I guess. But that’s not reality.

          Because I work in software development and I see first-hand exactly what executives are currently doing with AI. That’s what they’re doing. That’s the reality. What other side is there? That we’re going to get more games at lower prices thanks to AI? Sure, if you believe that I’ve got a real nice bridge to sell you too, get out your wallet and just hand it to me.

          If given all the evidence of the entire fucking economy of the world you think companies aren’t focused exclusively on short-term, short-sighted profits by minimizing costs and maximizing revenue, you’re so delusional you must be smoking capitalism like a drug.
