    Why does some of the most irrelevant news for actual gamers always come out on this project. Cool we get to play as a cities skylines character.

    This AI tech has nothing to do with meta, metaverse, multiverse or the like, it does seem to me that such a concept is only every going to be an umbrella for other gaming software while doing nothing itself.

    If we throw enough trendy catch phrases into the stew, it has to end up great.

    Game is literally another tech demo flex to impress others in the industry with buzzwords so they buy his game template for their own games. Honestly, Raph making games is like having a physiologist design a sports car, it's not going to be fun at all.

    Most gamers want the finished artwork and he hands you a pencil, a pack of stencils and a compass and says, "this is what you wanted".

    Honestly when i hear anything about Playable Worlds, even a character creator tool, i just remember a large or maybe the main investor is a Blockchain company and the idea is to create infrastructure across the Metaverse.

    It was nice when Bitcoin / Ethereum and the like had dipped, it seemed the CEO's, game dev's and the like at least stopped talking about Blockchain gaming. Now that bitcoin etc is surging again i guess we can expect a new epidemic about Blockchain.

    These guys know how to monetize.
    They don't know how to make a game (or don't care to).

    No worries, it's a problem that will resolve itself.

    With Raph Koster's history over the past decade, perhaps he should consider renaming the studio to Payable Words...?
