I may be out of the loop here but recently I read some comments suggesting that some legal issues with co-founder and Skillbox which is making it difficult for them. Also the fact that the Mumbai show is not selling that well could factor in as well.
Is this true?
So I've been watching an ant trail near my window and got weirdly obsessed with this question. When ants find food, they don't just send everyone they seem to scale the number of workers to the size or value of the food source. But how?
Like, does the scout ant somehow "encode" information about: Distance to the food (longer trail = more energy burned per trip)? Type/quality of food (sugar vs. protein vs. fat)? Yield vs. effort, is it even worth mobilizing 300 workers for a dry cracker 10 meters away?
Are they actually doing some form of decentralized computation through pheromone concentration and trail reinforcement, or is it more emergent like no single ant "knows" anything, but the colony as a system arrives at an efficient answer?
And do colonies ever decline a food source because the math just doesn't work out, too far, too small, too risky?
I'm not a biologist, just genuinely mind-blown that something with a brain the size of a grain of sand seems to be running logistics better than some supply chains I've heard of.

Edit: In development over 6 years.*
We're living in an era where the cultural conversation shifts every few weeks. A meme dies in a month, a political moment gets memorialized and forgotten in the same news cycle, and what Gen Z found cool in 2022 is already cringe in 2026.
GTA 6 is set in a fictional Florida, a state that's been a goldmine of absurdity but Florida in 2026 looks very different from the Florida Rockstar was studying in 2018-2020 when core development was happening. Venues have closed, the influencer economy has mutated, OnlyFans went mainstream and then got weird again, TikTok nearly got banned twice.
My question is how does a game satirizing contemporary American culture survive a decade-long development cycle without becoming a time capsule?
Is Rockstar banking on the structural absurdities of American life being stable enough to satirize? Are they updating the cultural skin (radio, billboards, NPC dialogue) close to ship date? Or is GTA Online just their escape hatch the live service layer that absorbs whatever the current moment is post-launch?
Because if GTA 6 launches with satire that felt sharp in 2022, it risks being the equivalent of a 45-year-old explaining a meme at a dinner table.
How do you think they're navigating this?
