I’m unlikely to play the third installment of an mmo. Would rather go back to Wow.
As for GW3, I have very little confidence that the Arena Net of today can create a game worth playing, at least based on what they’ve put out for the past 6 years. For a miracle they would need to hire a brand new writing team and probably the map artists can get the boot too…
Play Celeste if you haven’t already.

At the very least most games were less buggy on release than Gta5 is now in 2026. There were negative examples of course, but that’s the minority.
but an official method would possibly be better.
This may not be true at all. Like some of these old emulators are essentially perfect, have not tried the xbox360 one, but ps2 emulation is perfect, for many titles it’s better than playing on the console once you are past the setup.
Like imagine if the official emulator required you to attach a dvd-drive to your computer & even then how would the copy protection detection even work? Will they just give up on this now?
It’s a logical conclusion of the present situation. No one will pay for grass or asphalt textures, when genai can produce more variety than any human asset artist ever could. In coding it’s a more complicated situation, but for certain tasks it’s almost dumb not to use ai. Even of you don’t use it to actually write code it’s still helpful to a varying degree.
Doing so is against the Discord TOS, but it’s basically running a Tamper Monkey script. I did this twice to delete all the messages I’ve sent to my ex.
There is no certainty in these things, Nintendo could always do a big fuck you banwave many years later. Though you are probably fine.
I’m pretty sure that you could make a realistic game where all plants & buildings etc use AI generated textures & no one would ever notice. Basic assets like these can be generated very well with great variety & this has never been art. Some people just grabbed a camera & took photos of bricks, houses & plants on the street & in the wild & then uploaded their work to an asset store.
Anyway compared to AI assisted game development there are so many worse things in the industry. Like gacha mobile games or denuvo. Also I think people are super naive to think that studios above a certain size (like 20 employees) would even be able to make games without using AI at all. There would be always at least 1 employee that would find ways to speed up their work in secret, typically way more than just one.
It’s pretty much guaranteed that many AAA games out over the past 2 years had AI generated elements. Though finding these is not plausible. Telling about separate grass or tile textures if they are AI generated or taken from the asset store, or god forgive Ai generated assets taken from the asset store is basically impossible.
Alternatively imagine if an artist draws a concept art of an in game item & then uses image generation for creating the actual game assets. How will anyone find out?

The shareholders may force them to bend tbh.
I don’t follow. Why do you think a game like this years after gta6 couldn’t be a financial sucess?
I’m not so sure. When it comes to a conscious decision to either pirate or buy, crap like this often helps with the guilt.
The fourth one has a shockingly good electronic soundtrack.
I’m extremely happy about point 4. That’s by far the most important part of this fight.
The dev kit probably has many debugging & logging features. It probably allows quick switching between the big Xbox & weak Xbox to test both without needing the deploy your game build twice.
An indie developer doesn’t really need these & it may not even be that easy to get one. It’s tied to NDAs & you can use regular xbox consoles to test your own games.
I don’t think this will have much of an impact either way, either for Microsoft or for those using these.
The imdb rating of 3.9 for a movie that is not porn is quite incredible, I’m almost tempted to watch it.
