EA has been a mess for a while... Their recent buyout, I expect, is just further running it into the ground. That's fine. I've not cared much for EA of recent mind, but bioware is an ol fave. Mass Effect was and always will be one of my favortire franchises. That said, my hope is that as an IP is sold off to continue later. Else, I hope by really steps in to have that spirit live on!

                                                                                                                                                    Playable demos for video games were an amazing thing that we've had lost almost entirely by the time we arrived in the 2010s, until they were brought back with a bang five years ago thanks to the Steam Next Fests events. A lot of indie games have been getting tons of success thanks to game demos. And now that we've successfully got that back, we may be losing it again.

                                                                                                                                                    Indeed, in its path to ruin absolutely everything it can for as many people as it can, AI is now ruining Steam Next Fests and game demos for pretty much everyone involved.

                                                                                                                                                    You may have notice, if you tried to browse a bit, that this year's Next Fest is an absolute clusterfuck. With more than 7,000 demos, almost double that of last year's number and I'm sure you can take a guess as to why there are so many demos. It's because the vast majority of them are AI generated slop.

                                                                                                                                                    Some developers saw the writing on the wall, because last year already had glimpses of that problem and the slop machines have only gotten more capable since, so they just opted out pushing their demo entirely. Not wanting to get lost in all this crowd, or even, not wanting to be associated with it.

                                                                                                                                                    But if that wasn't depressing enough, AI is ruining game demos in another, much more existential way.

                                                                                                                                                    You may have seen a boom in the modding and reverse engineering scene, recently, and if you're in the know, just by reading this, you may have already caught up to what I'm about to say. There has been some pretty huge updates to some LLMs, lately. New models were released. And that has allowed people to take a game, feed it to the model, and letting it do what would usually take an entire team of passionate and dedicated people years to do, in minutes. That is: Fully reverse engineering a game.

                                                                                                                                                    It's why you've been seeing so games crossover lately, it's why you've seen this weird blend of Modern Warfare 2 and Skate 3 going around, among others. This is causing ripples throughout the industry, it's a massive shockwave that is completely reshaping how modding is done, and it is scaring the shit out of some indie developers wanting to release a demo for Next Fest. For some, it's a complete show stopper with several teams and solo devs backing out of the event last minute because of this.

                                                                                                                                                    The fear is, and it's sadly completely justified: If we give people access to a demo of our game, someone can take it, reverse engineer it, and vibecode their way to a minimum viable slop product in just days, beating us to our own game's release months before we're actually done with it.

                                                                                                                                                    I think Steam Next Fest is over. We had our fun while we could, but we can't have that anymore, because we have to have AI. As if the gaming industry needed more issues to deal with. What is happening right now is cataclysmic for independent developers and the entire industry as a whole is now going to have to reshape itself around the capabilities of these LLMs. I fucking hate it.

                                                                                                                                                    Here's a long and detailed article going into more details about this, if you're interested: https://aftermath.site/steam-next-fest-demos-ai-vibecoded-clones-theft/

                                                                                                                                                                  Recently the studio in charge of the game 'SCUM' was bought out, and new programmers are now in charge of its development after the primary team leader was pressured to leave, since then an update has been released several weeks ago which prevents users from loading their regular offline locally-saved games, users are now forced to be 'online' and to grant the game 'full access to the internet' in order to load their locally stored "offline" game (the game now literally 'hides' the offline saved games unless internet access is given to the game).

                                                                                                                                                                  Many users have complained about this and lodged tech support notices on the steam SCUM forum, and SCUM 'support' have said "it's a known issue" and claim they're "working on it" but have still not released a patch or even attempted to roll-back the update which caused this, months later. Which leads me to believe this may be a malicious actor taking over a well established app in order to proliferate trojan or malicious code to as many PCs as possible, to either infect or steal user data. And by forcing users to be online now that code could potentially be sending users private data and files to a central server.

                                                                                                                                                                  There is no reason whatsoever why a game would suddenly need to be "online" in order to load locally stored offline games, this is suspect as heck, and is looking almost identical to past attacks where malicious actors have taken over other well-established apps in order to infect PCs or steal users data.

                                                                                                                                                                  So if you're a player of this game please be aware of this and use caution, if you were an offline player previously don't grant the game online privileges, if a resolution to the problem isn't addressed by SCUM support soon the best option is to lodge a complaint with Steam so they can begin investigating.

So, Nvidia discontinued the RTX 5090 GPU, its flagship consumer gaming GPU, in order to use the silicon in its AI-focused RTX Pro GPUs.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        That leaves the RTX 5080 (16GB DDR7), which started out at $999 retail (which is what I paid for mine one year ago) but now goes for over $1,600, sitting at the top of the lineup—but not for long...

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Nvidia plans to release a new version of the RTX 5080—with 24GB DDR7—to sit at the top. But, this will surely start at $2,000+ retail, and then get snatched up entirely by AI companies.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Nvidia really has gone whole-hog into AI and its concern for playing in the consumer gaming market is clearly much diminished.

They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.
