Microsoft has published new patents that discuss an Xbox system to let human or AI helpers temporarily take over gameplay for players.

Reddit.

The patent called “STATE MANAGEMENT FOR VIDEO GAME HELP SESSIONS” describes multiple examples where a pop-up might ask a player to let a helper take over the gameplay for a while.

Imagine if a user were struggling to find a rare gem in an RPG; if allowed, the helper would take control from the player. They would proceed to chat and guide the user through the process of acquiring the gem.

      To be fair, the corpo slop games aren’t really worth playing, never mind paying for.

      Edit: I didn’t read, I’m stupid, don’t be like me. It’s even worse than I imagined.

      Not even. They’re going to sell you the idea that you’re a game dev, and sell you each piece and asset.

      It’s the optimized AI version of “during a gold rush, is the people selling shovels and picks that get rich.”
