The beginning of the trend?
Marc Seal, Founder and CEO SocratesAI video game companies say the action in Activision could be the beginning of gaming trends.
“I haven’t seen anyone else do this throughout the floating point test,” said Seal. “It’s not common, but I believe it will.”
Seal said the attempt by gaming companies to measure interest by creating AI-generated content is a bait and switch operation, but is rather harmless.
“I do think it might be misused,” he said. “If a studio even ‘pre-sale’ games or content from generated content, I think we’re going to be in a dangerous and harmful territory. I can see that happening and then the studio can’t deliver with the vision or quality of the generated content that is portrayed.”
Seal added that as long as companies are honest about their tests and honesty, this kind of test is fair game.
“I would rather see the studio react early to the concept and bring in some new, more risky projects that may have been avoided because there is no clear way to test this,” he said.
