Game dev challenges AI cloners: if AI can clone your game in hours, it wasn't much of a game
AIandDesign · x · 2026-10-17
Amid the debate over AI cloning games in hours, developer AIandDesign fired back: if a game can be cloned into a version nearly as smooth as the original with AI in a few hours, "it's not much of a game," inviting anyone to try it on their own titles with or without AI. The exchange follows arc4g's lament that "the age of teasing stuff on Twitter is over — release or shut up," which he called sad for indie devs who enjoyed sharing progress publicly. The thread captures the anxiety and divide among original game creators facing the wave of AI-powered clones.
