Debate: Is Gaming Dead in the AI Era? Devs Clash Over Vibe Coding
Vjeux · x · 2026-08-10
Responding to the claim that "gaming as a category is dead" because AI enables everyone to build their own games, ThePrimeagen pushes back. He argues that people have no idea how hard creating a good video game actually is, and thus the gaming category is very much alive.
The original thesis by Nick Dobos suggests that with vibe coding, the gap between creating and playing is approaching zero. He questions why players would consume someone else's game when they can just pay an AI $20 to make their own.
