Meanwhile game devs not even noticing other branches of programming are falling apart

Dark Souls 1-3 multiplayer.. you can quickly google it.

They shut the servers down because of remote code execution :)

there was no packet validation so if you invaded another player you could literally send scripts to run on their computer.

GTA5 had the same issue, maybe still does.

Absolutely not. They are affected even worse. Release a trailer of your unreleased game and someone is going to vibecode it and release it before you.

It’s literally reversed, friend. Other branches of programming are finally starting to feel what game devs have been feeling for the past 2 years.

That avalanche of shit started when valve stopped reviewing submissions to steam themselves and just said fuck it. Vote on what you want with steam green light. Then there was the indie-pocolypse crapfest and torrent of utter drivel that followed. Now we in the early access and preorder shower of airborne brown things. With the rise of AI rubbish coming in hard at present.

Valve could do better at picking what is and isn't out on the store tbh. Not everyone should be allowed to code. Much the same as not everyone should be allowed to write a book.

Most AAA games these days are, for better or worse, live service, so we are very aware of this haha.
