The fact they they kept the price fixed should serve as a reminder they can do this at any time. There is no conspiracy theory, they've literally done this and nobody challenged them and no laws have changed since then (thus the "ancient law" that is somehow still in effect). The sophisticated economists that study "real world economic policy works by virtue of steady hands and rigorously applied norms" can make another "ancient law" any time they want.

While the question of alternative actions and outcomes is also valid, this is a literal 10-trillion dollar question that nobody in a leadership position wants to ask or answer.

I am just saying we have proof that it can understand complex worlds and sets of rules, and then abide by them. It doesn't know how to use a controller and it doesn't know how to explore the game physics on its own, but those steps are much easier to implement based on how coding agents are able to iterate and explore solutions.

A serious attempt at video/vision would involve some probabilistic latent space that can be noised in ways that make sense for games in general. I think veo3 proves that ai can generalize 2d and even 3d games, generating a video under prompt constraints is basically playing a game. I think you could prompt veo3 to play any game for a few seconds and it will generally make sense even though it is not fine tuned.
