This regurgitated AI slop is what Microsoft is doing with the Quake IP
Over the weekend, we became aware of a situation that sparked strong criticism from fans of the Quake series. This was triggered by a tweet from Geoff Keighley, often referred to as God Emperor of Video Games, which didn’t sit well with the community. For instance, Rod “Slasher” Breslau, Supreme Chancellor of Esports, expressed his displeasure by saying, “Wow! It’s dogshit!” Gman added his thoughts, asking if anyone was genuinely impressed or intrigued by what was presented as sloppy work. Nightdive Studios Host Miss Slaughter urged Geoff to delete the post. Adam Butterworth, an audio test engineer at Remedy Games, summarized the feelings of many when he stated that this behavior from the company, which has let go of over 11,900 people in two years, was “Disgusting.” There were countless more angry and frustrated reactions directed towards Geoff for sharing the video and Microsoft for believing this would be welcomed by gamers, especially long-suffering fans of Quake.
