    Finally, in regards to AI, the belief among those polled was that AI could replace human localizations and translations within the next 12-24 months.

    Yeah throw a separate underapprechiated and extremely exploited workforce under the under the bus instead, fucking asshole morons. How can you talk about “premium games” if the premium experience doesn’t fucking involve the artistic touch of a writer in your own language actually translating it?

      These are programmers, they think writing code is the highest form of writing and they couldn’t be more wrong.

        These are programmers

        They were speakers attending some conference, so they’d be executives and PR people. Which does make the general disregard for microtransactions bit surprising, at least, because those are exactly the sort of people you’d expect to be all in for monetizing everything they possibly can.

          The article says developers were surveyed. Those are programmers. I know from experience that Devcom has a lot of developers and programmers on it.
