Turns out the game is always-online
Just like the game before it. Which also had tacky micro-transactions.
I’ll let you guess what Diablo 5 will be like.


Why does the graph go anti-clockwise?

You’re right, they aren’t doing so well looking at this 5 year window.
The Mad Lib type of writing.
“Today I learned that [enter service of company], they [enter bonus service/ product offered].”
It walks, swims and quacks like an ad.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is clearly an ad.
27% of 8 hours is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes. That’s about right.

Maybe they didn’t know.

The vast majority of coding isn’t making something new, it’s using existing patterns and tools and arranging them to fit a specific use case.
I would argue that arranging something to fit a specific use case is making something new.
Ask any designer how difficult it is to get a spec sheet from a client and meet their expectations. We’re expecting LLMs to suddenly solve this problem.
Llms may not be able to create a new framework or design pattern
Until they can do this, there is little threat to designers. There will be less grunt work, of course.


The sad reality is that code is just a form of language, and LLMs are good at learning languages.
This is debatable. LLMs are prediction machines.
What use is prediction when you are trying to code something new?


All analogies have flaws. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be an analogy, they would be describing the very thing itself.

It’s not that it was a satisfying theory, it’s that it was misinformation spread by the propaganda machine at the time.
This will cover up so many dusty farts.

Regular sleep schedule - good
People get to the weekend and think they’ll get away with staying up late and sleeping in.
It’s not worth it.


I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit.
So since 2009? You haven’t been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.
