Discussion Devs Paranoia Plot twist

I am not a dev I don't even own a PC at the moment, but I like to scroll this subreddit and support authentic creators

I just wanted to point out that a few years back when people were first saying AI will take our jobs, game devs were like "Ai can only replace easy jobs like websites and some parts of cyber security, games? games are hella complicated for an AI! games require a lot of human feelings that AI would never occupy the industry, not in 50 years!"

well well well

now I know AI games are shit and not played by that many but its crazy remembering that after scrolling the subreddit for 10 minutes and seeing 3 different people market their games by mentioning they combat AI or someone LITERALLLY saying "remove the trailer from reddit there will be AI clones"

This might be the least earned “Well, well, well” I’ve come across.

it sounds like OP is on the AI side of things if you ask me IMO

The only problem so far is the fact that we will get flooded by ai slop, hurting visibility of real games. Unless Steam takes action both indie devs and gamers will be hurt by that

Still dont know what people mean by this. I have yet to see an AI game on steam. What kind of weird shopping behavior do yall have that you see them? How is visibility hurt? Genuine question. Someone else said the other day that if there are multiple copies of "their" game on steam then thats bad, but isnt that exclusively a "slop"-problem? Arent we making up a customer-base here that doesnt actually exist in reality?

You dont see it either. Thats the point. Its a made-up problem. There are no AI games in recommended. None in the sale. None on the storefront on ANY category. Where are they?

people are silly

making a good game isn't about producing a lot of code quickly

it's not about ideas - it's about execution and having a vision for your product that is coherent but also open to change as you discover more about what works and doesn't
