It’s Time For Epic Games And Its CEO To Touch Grass

It’s Time For Epic Games And Its CEO To Touch Grass https://ift.tt/PpyRE19 Epic Games is under fire once again this week for its stance on AI, as the company is apparently pivoting to "AI-accelerated development"--and supreme overlord Tim Sweeney has been trying to make it seem as though he and his company are not bothered by the backlash even a little bit. But everything that Sweeney and his spokespeople have said this week makes them look like they're embarrassingly out of touch with the reality of our present moment. Maybe it's time for Sweeney to go outside and get some fresh air and remember what it was like to be a regular person who doesn't have a billion dollars and a powerful corporation that he rules with an iron fist.

"The way I created the world was to seed plots in various parts of the world that could be part of... a single game," Gaider told Eurogamer. "Then there was the overall uber-plot, which I didn't know for certain that we would ever get to, but I had an understanding of how it all worked together... A lot of that was in my head until we were starting Inquisition and the writers got a little bit impatient with my memory or lack thereof, so they pinned me down and dragged the uber-plot out of me. I'd talked about it, I'd hinted at it, but never really spelled out how it all connected, so they dragged it out of me. We put it into a master lore doc, the secret lore, which we had to hide from most of the team."

Although Gaider left BioWare after Dragon Age: Inquisition, there are signs in The Veilguard that his original plan is still being followed, at least to a degree. He pointed to the return of Fen'Harel as a major example. However, Gaider declined to state what his original ending for the Dragon Age lore was just in case BioWare ever gets around to telling that story.
