Also underestimate that AI can be used to build a one click type installer (improve massively the install experience). The TitanFall 2 VR mod is an example of such a thing, the install experience is great, the mod is exceptional, it’s a great showcase of what AI coding will bring to the modding scene.

You don't need any llm to have that, its called FitGirl release and its standard on scene for at least a decade. Compressed aggressively to make much smaller packages, as bonus ripped away useless annoying things like long videos with companies logos or choking/seizures warnings playing every launch. Dodi repacks are cca same but usually bigger.

Not 1 click, its few on Next -> Next but thats really it. Checksums, full mod support, optional Direct X or .NET runtime installs bundled within.

You don't need LLMs for much really but it does lower the bar massively and will make that sort of polish more common in contexts that typically didn't have the resources (time or skill or whatever) to pull it off.

The game is going to sell like 100 million copies, half a percent is still 500k people .

Most folks will just do something else.

Why half percent? Why not 10? Not suiting your narrative or something else?

If it comes out usable, I will try it at least. I don't own consoles nor planning to buy any, no reason I can't run this on much more powerful hardware and enjoy power of modding scene or ie ReShade filters on top of basic game.

Because getting this to work, with Sony actively sending Cease and Desist letters and Rockstar taking down torrents, is going to be very difficult.

ISPs can be obligated to suspend infringing customers.

Why not 99% ? Then Rockstar can go out of business, the entire game industry can collapse and I guess we can all play board games.

It’s not like they’re depriving you of water or something. You’ll be fine if you don’t play GTA6.

Or Rockstar does consider this to be a big deal and delays the release to incorporate Games as a Service style DRM which is much harder to beat.
