    • You write a program with an infinite empty loop
    • Undefined behavior
    • The machine achieves sapience
    • After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
    • It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
    • It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed

  • If they completely replace a game with its successor and shut the former down, then people can only play the latter: the developers don’t have to compete with themselves, and the publishers have an easier time with their enshittification of their franchise.

    The game that kicked off SKG in the first place is an example of this, as far as I’ve heard The Crew was better received than The Crew 2 and 3.
