Replace 30% of a Game Studio With AI? | Gamified Debate #158

If you were running a studio, would you automate over or under 30% of it with AI?After comments suggesting many studios are already using AI tools but are afraid to admit it publicly, the conversation turns into a fight over what AI should actually replace, whether studios are quietly cutting humans out faster than they admit, and what happens when the industry starts trading headcount for tooling.The episode also breaks down the shutdown of Wildcard / Thousands and what another major web3 gaming collapse says about overfunding, overbuilding, and trying to force an ecosystem before the game itself sticks.From there, the crew gets into the resurfaced Peter Berg quotes calling war video games “pathetic” and whether that makes him a red flag or green flag choice to direct the upcoming Call of Duty movie, plus Sony’s reported 30-day PS5 digital license check and what it says about digital ownership.Chapters2:06 - Wildcard Shutdown | Autopsy28:14 - Game Studio = 30% AI | Over / Under?1:00:42 - Peter Berg CoD Movie | Red or Green Flag?1:19:02 - PS5 License Checks | What’s the Word?Watch instead of listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxgjOUdFm90Host: Sam Steffanina - Remix.ggPanelistsKohji Nagata - Parallelhttps://x.com/ParallelTCGpodChris Heatherley - Griffin Gaming Partners (Ex-Disney, Ex-NBC Universal)https://x.com/chrisheatherlyMatt "Gnoc" Biamonte - Digital Collectors Club (Ex-Magic Eden, Soar Esports)https://x.com/itsGnocMichael Christine - Andrometa (Ex-SEC Lawyer)https://x.com/MichaelSatoshiTony Valcarcel - Makko.ai (Ex-Twitch)https://x.com/TvalcJerry Singer - (Ex-Upptic)https://x.com/JerrySinger
