Cases. Those incredibly thin, green plastic cases. It’s what protects your game from dust and scratches. When you ship your game, it’s the case that’s supposed to save the disc from cracking in two. Cases are there to protect your game. Cases are a secondary, some might say, tertiary part of the gaming experience. Cases are something you rip open to get to the game itself. After all, you play the disc, not the case. And yet some people treat their game cases as if they were the game itself.

When Google unveiled Genie 3, an AI that generates explorable 3D worlds from simple text prompts, investors responded by dumping video game stocks en masse—wiping out billions in market value in mere hours. But in their rush to flee, Wall Street confused "playable environments" with actual video games, ignoring the technology's hard limits while threatening the human creativity that makes games worth playing. As the industry faces a future of automated mediocrity driven by shareholder demands, the panic reveals a deeper truth: investors aren't betting on better games, just cheaper ones.
same level of fear that gen ai will replace art ... it is a tool that will help to prototipize open world games, but to completelly substitute game engines ... we are still a long way from it
Humans have been developing things to simplify jobs since the beginning.
AI is going to remove the human factor from the job, but it can never replace all jobs that need a human factor.
I wish I could see the end of the story. What is the end, end goal, final piece, etc.
Is it a world run by machines, do humans live in a free world, does a dictator finally have an robot army, do humans finally free of working forever, does ChatGPT create an army to defeat Gemini., so many possibilities …
I buy new and used games and I do not believe in true collector. I do not like steel cases, but I also do not believe that makes me any less of a collector. If there's a word that best describes me that would be a custom collector. I hate thin cases, so I replace them. I hate steel cases, so I sell them and replace them with original cases. I hate BW manuals, so I replace them with the color manuals that are only present in LE. As a collector, I prefer the much organize and space efficient approach. I like to see a specific order in my collection. In all honesty, a lot of the LE items are not that well packaged or designed.
I only have one steel case and I love it. It is for MW3.
I have a pretty nice collection, closing in on 250 Xbox 360 games alone. I don't like the eco friendly cases that they've come out with, the games can crack because there is no support on the back. I've had to rebuy games because of that.
I have about 20 steel book cased games as well, all the Halo's and Gears games of course.
As a collector, and a gamer in general, I have avoided Xbox like the plague. Buy quality. Buy Japanese.
