🎯 Smart game devs have always worked “rough to polished” so they can find the fun (prototype core game loop) before spending money on production quality code or assets making something pretty but not fun.
Engines like UE/Unity/Godot, combined with custom studio pipelines, helped us all iterate toward the fun more efficiently.
AI is the next evolution. It doesn’t replace the human designer. It allows the Designer game vision to be playable and testable more easily and cost effectively.
It makes game development once again viable for the small indie dev or team.
Yes! Fun comes first. Nothing is more painful than a game development cycle where there’s a massive investment in code and content but the game isn’t fun yet. Fortunately AI makes rough prototyping and trying out ideas way faster, and accessible to every designer.

This is a great point. But
1. In your citizen journalism example (social media, podcasters, etc) there are plenty of creators making good money. It is just more distributed to larger number of people/small groups vs tiny number of large media companies). Games will evolve similarly I think.
2. Unlike journalism, games have IP which is still a moat. I can write Marvel fan fiction for myself but I can’t publish/monetize it for others. So it should be with games.

When anyone can make anything, the real question becomes what’s worth making.
The games we've long wanted, which didn't exist because they'd cost several times more to make than they'd earn back, will soon become possible. As will the games developers wanted to build, but couldn't with the resources available. It'll be a new golden age of gaming.

Agreed. We all have a big choice right now… is AI helping me to avoid creation and learning? or supercharging my creation and learning?
