The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.
Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.
First pay for the game, then pay for slop shit so you don’t have to play the game. Corporate big brain time at its best 😄
To be fair, the corpo slop games aren’t really worth playing, never mind paying for.
Edit: I didn’t read, I’m stupid, don’t be like me. It’s even worse than I imagined.
Not even. They’re going to sell you the idea that you’re a game dev, and sell you each piece and asset.
It’s the optimized AI version of “during a gold rush, is the people selling shovels and picks that get rich.”
“Finish” as in beat or best, not as in complete a development work to be shipped
Oh… Holy Fuck. It’s more dystopian and stupid than I realized.
I’m sorry and I hate it
