Former BioWare producer Mark Darrah, who led both the Dragon Age series and Anthem, has argued that risk-averse big-budget games are potentially prepping some people for a generative AI future.
The BioWare veteran discussed the state of AAA gaming in a new YouTube video, explaining that companies have been putting out more by-the-numbers products as budgets have ballooned in recent years. Modern blockbuster games can now cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce, and Darrah says the "effect of that is everything becomes more and more beige, more and more similar."
