> As to those claiming that these individuals won't regret what they have done: That may be true. But why does it happen with developers? Because it happens a lot. Because Developers make games, and record execs make money. I'm sure there are a handful out there who actually give a shit about the art they make their money off of, but having worked with many of these people for many years, I assure you the vast majority are exactly as soulless as is depicted in virtually every movie or TV show that involves one, because the creatives behind those depictions have to deal with those soul-sucking vampires all the time, and they hate them. And the feeling there is very mutual, which is why every executive is creaming themselves at the prospect of being able to get rid of creatives and replace them with "AI." > Neither I nor Seubert made this claim out of some pseudo-religious self-reassurance that "One day, they'll all get theirs!" but as a simple observation that these actions are ill-advised. I don't know how you could read it any other way without being intentionally obtuse. Because, as is outlined by the commenter, the notion of "they'll regret this" is presupposing multiple bad assumptions, namely that record executives give the faintest shit about music beyond it's ability to make number go up. Oh no, Capital Records has a bad reputation. It will still stream. Album sales will be unaffected because consumer revolt has always been worthless as a tactic. What are they regretting?
