So many news stories, LOL! But the one that stands out the most is the first one you posted. The issue of RAM and all PC components in general, due to AI, is worrying. Not to mention how the industry itself is functioning in terms of managing teams and design.
It's a shame about COD MW4; I played the original back in the day, and it's one of the best war games I played back then.

Yeah. While AI is useful (not as much as people expected, but it doesn't do as little as some criticize), the price tag for its development is enormous, and I doubt that higher hardware prices will be the only consequences. But there's nothing we can do about it; there's a lot of money involved.
This is another positive review I've heard about this game. I'll probably play it someday if there's a good sale.
Yes, likewise, if there's a good offer, I'd be tempted to try that Call of Duty.
Exactly, in fact, investors are now realizing that AI is costing them more just to keep it running than it's generating in profit. And as you say, it's the way the world evolves, and it will continue that way. When will the bubble burst? I don't know, maybe in 2027?
I don't know what the current situation is, but a few months ago (maybe even eight months ago), I saw news that all the big companies were completely crazy about AI and weren't going to back down because the competition was always there. So they're behaving like typical idiots – we'll keep breaking something until we completely break it.
The situation with AI, even for large companies and investors, remains confusing, very confusing still. And I made the previous comment because my work requires me to be close to these issues, so I know very well that developers currently investing in AI to try to democratize its use are spending billions and seeing very little return. This will take time. What is truly worrying is the ever-increasing cost of PC components and game development in general.
You know, apparently these companies don't know what to do. They're all doing AI, so they're doing the same thing so investors don't punish them. All experts (supposedly regardless of their worldview/approach to AI) believe we've squeezed everything we can out of this technology, and many are still trying... Because how can you explain to investors that five companies invested in AI, the first and second succeeded, and you abandoned financing before discovering your technology? The guy would be fired on the spot, with a gargantuan debt for life.
