Schofield Says a Good Idea Saves More Money Than AI Right Now
What happened
Retired developer Glen Schofield said in an interview that one good idea saves more money on AAA games than today's AI can — a judgement he offered about the respective roles of production cost, ideas and AI, not a proven conclusion. He also looked back on the development of The Callisto Protocol: he says Krafton decided to move the release up to December 2022, earlier than the March 2023 he had been told, so planned content was cut, and he later shipped 86 patches and all the DLC.
