If this results in the AAA games industry dying and having a full reset in a couple years when this all blows over, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I don’t think indie games are going anywhere, so it’s not like we won’t have anything new to play, and AAA studios have just become so generally awful that there wouldn’t be any great loss there.

If anything, I’d expect smaller indie games that can run on weaker/older hardware to be more likely to survive

That would require people learning how to program.

No, new devs will love the AI tool frameworks for creating games. The money will be good and nobody will own ANYTHING, except for the corporations that hold our debt.

I’m not falling for it. Going to start retro gaming clubs.
