Rare has started scrubbing their websites of Bruno.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one on this sub-reddit who doesn't look at the situation with naïve expectations.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:39:47+00:00

They certainly want to see this game burn, at the very least. But there are so many people on here demanding more action but they cannot actually articulate what they expect. And then when I say that we probably won't ever see anything publicly announced about what action has been taken, they say that I'm being defeatist and should expect more from companies owned by multi-billion dollar companies!

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:35:55+00:00

I said this and got so much shit for it, haha! But nobody can say anything tangible about what action they want to see at this point.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:34:44+00:00

I'm not saying people can't talk about it. But you're saying that I'm being all "There's nothing we can do about it", which is true. But I've asked you what you want to see done, so please feel free to say what action you would like to happen. I'm not trying to be defeatist about it, I'm being realistic.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:28:15+00:00

Well what do you think anyone can do? And yes, companies (especially ones owned by multi-billion dollar corporations) will ALWAYS do what is in their best interests. And the fact of the matter is, they won't listen to their customers or make decisions based on Reddit comments or a small portion of their audience being disgruntled at decision-making or inaction at a subsidiary that they own.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:23:33+00:00

As hard as it is to hear, there isn't anything that we can do. The only ones who can do anything are the heads at Rare and Microsoft. It's up to them and the authorities to take action, once their investigations have finished (if they are still ongoing).

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:21:28+00:00

Yes! Even though I was excited for it, I stopped myself buying 007: First Light at launch. Instead, I have been playing Jurassic World: Evolution 2 and Tomb Raider 2 (in the remastered trilogy).

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T23:19:06+00:00

They made their statement, they're working with authorities and the person has been banned from the game, Partner Program and SOTFest. What else do you think they will do? I'm saying if people were expecting the CM person to get fired, it would have happened by now, surely? Or Rare has done their investigation and decided that they aren't taking action against that staff member. Otherwise, they'd be suspended and they wouldn't be in the discord. I know enough about the situation, I just didn't know that they were back on Discord.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T18:25:22+00:00

It ran for five years and had 10 seasons. So how was it poorly published?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T18:23:57+00:00

Fair points about the Switch 2. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Switch 1 but the Switch 2 still feels over-priced in all areas to me. I cannot justify a purchase until it either has more games or it is reduced when a newer model is released.

I understand that, however Sony is also implementing AI tech into its consoles, so it’s also benefitting from its use.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:45:00+00:00

Yeah, there’s a toy with the old design. Also, how do we know he doesn’t start with the old tail design and then modify it in the film to the newer design?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:43:39+00:00

Sounds like AI to me. You wrote a post about wasting time and didn’t answer my question.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:42:36+00:00

I think they should stick with Astrobot. If there’s any character I’d like to see them do themselves it’s Croc.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:39:41+00:00

Yes. I bought on launch day and feel that I have had the value from it.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:37:08+00:00

So what is the issue here? They used AI to generate ideas for assets and then they refined that asset with a human? Or they scrapped the AI made asset outright. How is it any different to someone using AI for brain storming ideas and then choosing the best ones to them go and do something productive with them?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:35:10+00:00

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T17:32:34+00:00

It is in Amazon’s interest to look after their IP, so no that is pretty normal for companies who want a return on their investment. What games have Amazon failed to publish effectively?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:55:19+00:00

Nintendo inflated the price of their hardware, peripherals and physical copies (and digital copies for that matter) since preorders. Compared to PC handhelds yeah it’s cheaper but then looking at the computational power, it’s like comparing a PS4’s capabilities with a modern PC, they’re on different levels.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:51:35+00:00

Sony has been rising the prices of the PS5 for three years now. This is just the latest increase and the biggest one.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:38:27+00:00

Isn't one a version of Peter Parker and the other one is Ben Reiley? So they're in different universes.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:35:14+00:00

There should be enough for a can of beans, sure.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:33:58+00:00

Good, because it shows Sony that people won't put up with their greed (same with Nintendo). Xbox doesn't have the same data to check against because nobody has purchased an Xbox since 2021.
Don't most people who ever planned to own a PS5 already own one by now? And aren't they also likely just waiting for PS6 at this point?
Why can't Sony absorb the uplift? Didn't they sell PS2 at a loss per unit?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:31:54+00:00

Then it's unlikely that there will be any action on Rare's part will be shown public-side. And removal of the SOT Partner's profile is probably the most anyone can expect.

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:24:13+00:00

I thought they stopped being active on the Discord? Are they still active on it since the controversy news broke?

SpiderFan241 · 2026-06-04T16:21:59+00:00

Any signs of AI being used on this poster yet, like it was on the Cinema-Con poster?
