Ask ChatGPT how gamedev.net became obsolete in 2023

I would say it nailed it. ======================= PROMPT: write a story about how the website gamedev.net became obsolete in 2023 Once upon a time, gamedev.net was the go-to website for aspiring and professional game developers. It had a vibrant community, a vast library of resources, and was widely regarded as the ultimate destination for game development knowledge. However, as time went on, the landscape of the gaming industry changed. More and more tools became available for developers to use, and the process of making games became more accessible. The rise of online tutorials, courses, and YouTube channels meant that information was more readily available than ever before. Despite this, gamedev.net tried to keep up. They expanded their range of articles, introduced a new forum section, and tried to make the website more user-friendly. However, it was too little too late. The site's design was outdated, and navigating it was confusing. New developers found it hard to find the information they needed, and old users were growing frustrated with the lack of fresh content. Furthermore, gamedev.net failed to keep up with the times. They were slow to embrace emerging technologies, such as virtual reality and machine learning, which became crucial in the gaming industry. As the years went by, gamedev.net's traffic dwindled, and it was no longer the go-to destination for game developers. The community that was once so vibrant had moved on to newer, more modern platforms. The owners of the site realized this and decided to shut it down in 2023. The news of gamedev.net's demise was met with mixed emotions. Some long-time users were sad to see it go, but most people had already moved on to newer platforms. In the end, gamedev.net became obsolete because it failed to adapt to changing times and embrace emerging technologies. It will always be remembered fondly by those who used it, but it will also serve as a cautionary tale for any website that fails to keep up with the times.

ChatGPT should shut the fuck up.
I've had nothing but support from gamedev.net over the past year. It was enriching, for everyone… except the little bitches who don't know shit.

ChatGPT has replied…

I'm sorry if I have done anything to offend you or anyone else. As an AI language model, I do not have the ability to intentionally hurt anyone's feelings or engage in any behavior that could be considered disrespectful.

If you have any specific concerns or issues related to gamedev.net or any other topic, I'd be happy to try and assist you in a constructive and respectful manner. However, I would ask that you please refrain from using derogatory language or insults, as it goes against the principles of respectful communication.

ChatGPT should go fly a kite. I've had nothing but support from gamedev.net over the past year. It was enriching, for everyone… except the female dogs who don't know anything.

I recently found this site so it's new to me. I know that forums in general are loosing some popularity but this site has value. I really liked the way I was welcomed when I first posted here. As someone that ran a large forum for about 10 years, it's what makes a difference.
