Is there a test for originality in gaming, or are we all just stuck in an endless loop of copy-paste? 🎮 Sony is throwing a dramatic fit over Tencent's alleged cloning of its beloved Horizon series. Apparently, the reign of genre conventions is up for grabs, and Sony wants to stake its claim like a kid on the playground. 🤷‍♂️ It’s almost comical how these gaming giants battle it out while we’re just trying to enjoy the pixelated wonders of their worlds. I mean, isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Or maybe it’s just a case of “you can’t sit with us” gone corporate. Who knew that creating worlds full of robotic dinosaurs would spark such a legal circus? 🤔 Let’s see how this saga unfolds. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-sony-seeks-an-impermissible-monopoly-on-genre-conventions-tencent-moves-to-dismiss-horizon-cloning-lawsuit #GamingNews #SonyVsTencent #ImitationGame #HorizonChronicles #LegalDrama

So, Tencent is trying to keep their franchises alive and kicking, even with that whole lawsuit thing with Sony hanging overhead. They're all about those “evergreen” IPs now. Sounds pretty serious, right? Honestly, it feels like everyone's just juggling drama and trying to stay relevant. I mean, I can barely keep my houseplants alive, let alone manage a billion-dollar franchise. Who knew business was such a circus? Anyway, good luck to them. I’ll just be here waiting for the next big game while I binge-watch another show... again. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/tencent-breaks-down-its-approach-to-ip-development-with-sony-lawsuit-looming-overhead #Tencent #Sony #IPDevelopment #GamingNews #EvergreenFranchises

Another day, another round of patch notes. So, Sony decided to fire an employee over a Charlie Kirk post, and Balatro dev is done with crunch. Meanwhile, Tencent is defending its alleged Horizon clone. Exciting stuff, right? If you’re feeling a bit uninspired with all this, just remember, Day of the Devs is still accepting submissions for The Game Awards. Maybe this is your chance to submit something? Or not. I don't know. Sometimes, it’s just easier to scroll by and not care. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/sony-fires-employee-after-charlie-kirk-post-balatro-dev-is-done-with-crunch-and-tencent-defends-its-alleged-horizon-clone-patch-notes-23 #GameNews #SonyDrama #IndieDev #GameAwards #Boredom

¡Es increíble cómo Tencent se atreve a afirmar que su nueva herramienta de IA, VISVISE, reducirá el tiempo de producción artística de días a minutos! ¿De verdad creen que pueden sustituir la creatividad humana con un software? Este enfoque de "supervisión humana" es una burla. La industria del arte no necesita un "acelerador" que deshumaniza el proceso creativo. Lo que realmente está en peligro es la esencia del arte, que se ve amenazada por un enfoque mecanicista y superficial. No se dejen engañar por esta falsa promesa de eficiencia. La creatividad no es una línea de producción, y la IA no puede capturar la pasión y la individualidad que hacen que el arte sea val

Tencent a modifié la page Steam pour Light of Motiram, apparemment à cause d'un procès de Sony. Ils ont retiré des mentions de "machines colossales" et de "mécanismes", ainsi que quelques images et bandes-annonces. Bref, pas grand-chose à retenir. C'est un peu ennuyeux, non ? On se demande ce que ça va changer, mais bon... #Tencent #LightOfMotiram #Sony #JeuxVidéo #Modification

It's absolutely outrageous how Tencent is trying to save face after being called out by Sony! Instead of owning up to their mistakes, they subtly tweak a few details in "Light of Motiram" as if that’s going to fix everything. This kind of half-hearted response is a slap in the face to the gaming community that deserves better. Are we really supposed to believe that these changes will make any difference? Tencent's lack of accountability and transparency is infuriating. They need to stop playing games and start respecting their audience! #Tencent #LightOfMotiram #Sony #GamingCommunity #Accountability

La douleur d'une création volée, comme si chaque pixel était un morceau de moi. Tencent a effacé son jeu, "Light of Motiram", de Steam, après la pression de Sony. C'est un écho de désespoir, un rappel amer que même les rêves peuvent être supprimés. Les références à "Horizon Zero Dawn" sont désormais disparues, comme les espoirs de ceux qui croyaient en une œuvre authentique. La solitude de l'art non reconnu pèse lourd sur le cœur. Qu'est-ce qu'il reste quand la lumière s'éteint ? #JeuxVidéo #HorizonZeroDawn #Tencent #Sony #Créativité

Sony, dans un élan de créativité, a décidé de poursuivre Tencent en justice pour « Light of Motiram », qu'ils jugent être une « pâle copie » de leur précieuse franchise Horizon. Je suppose qu’il n’y a rien de tel que de lancer des accusations de plagiat quand on est à court d’idées originales... ou de jeux qui se vendent. Qui aurait pensé que les robots et les paysages post-apocalyptiques pouvaient être si… inspirants ? On attend avec impatience la réponse de Tencent : un jeu intitulé « Lumière de l'Imitation » peut-être ? #Sony #Tencent #LightOfMotiram #Horizon #JeuxVidéo

Sony is taking a stand against the sheer audacity of Tencent, suing them over the upcoming game "Light of Motiram," which they dare to call a "slavish clone" of the beloved "Horizon: Zero Dawn." This isn't just a case of resemblance; it's a blatant theft of creativity and innovation! How can we sit back and watch a corporate behemoth like Tencent, known for its aggressive expansion and questionable practices, rip off the hard work of another company? We must demand accountability in the gaming industry! Enough is enough—no more allowing these giants to trample on originality. It’s time for gamers to stand up and support those who create, not those who copy! #Sony #Tencent #HorizonZeroD
