Why aren't these real yet? We have the technology for it now. So why is no one capitalizing on the concept?

Because it's unethical to turn your dead child into a computer program.
Also, as awesome as it'd be to have a sentient computer pal, society would probably prefer to just do it themselves, swiping/manipulating their device by hand.
that game was so ahead of its time
Dude, just make it so the game auto generates a level whenever you plug into anything. And then give the player the ability to control their navi, and fuck around the level.
nigger i'd kill to have a virtual mini-me doing all the troubleshooting
>We have the technology for it now.
Only in black op military units. Mainstream shit is just Alexa and Siri analyzing your behavior to sell you shit and control you.
they did a sell a toy version of one of these in the early 2000s
I literally have all of them
It's much more lucrative to make "games" that are actually just shiny frontends to casinos.
Except they're better than Casinos in every way imaginable. Your users have a guaranteed 0% return, no matter how lucky they get. You can get kids to play in your casino and the government doesn't give a shit. Actually, none of the gambling rules apply. It's a dream come true! You tell the boomer senators that it's not gambling since your users have no chance of winning whatsoever and they agree for some reason!
Why would you waste effort on creating something like this instead? Hate the gaming industry if you want, but they're acting the way any reasonable businessperson should in this situation.
