With AI significantly lowering the barrier to game development, the author predicts the industry will soon face an overwhelming surplus of content.
- Disappearing Barriers: Game development previously required collaboration across coding, art, and design, but can now be generated simply via text prompts.
- Discovery Problem: This trend is already visible in AI images, videos, and apps. When everyone can create easily, capturing user attention becomes harder than the creation itself.
- Future Direction: The next major challenge may not be assisting creation, but helping users filter and discover content worth experiencing.
