On the bright side there's about a 100% guarantee that any game he shits out is gonna be terrible. You can rig, bribe, and exploit your way through literally anything except creating good art. The industry's seen plenty of attempts already

And if it's good then ill just pirate it :3

Also it will be some kind of grift. I guess something something nft crypto, or whatever.

And will end up being banned from steam as a result.

I'm looking forward to it tbh.

thats fine, let him make his own storefront too. Or is that what X: The Everything App is supposed to be used for?

Omfg that would be great. Blow a couple billion creating a storefront and games, just to fail miserably.

Just because it's bad don't mean that it won't make money hand over fist. Look at everything Disney produces.

Making money from a slightly smaller pile of money is easy.

Making ever more money from increasingly smaller piles of money is hard, and that's what they all career headlong towards for no discernable reason whatsoever.
