When playing and making games become the same activity: agents rewrite game dev economics
TAbrodi · x · 2026-11-13
@illscience argues coding agents will radically change game development economics, and more intriguingly that "consumption itself becomes a creation primitive" — when anyone can modify rules, invent mechanics, or extend worlds just by asking an agent, playing and making become the same activity. He suspects millions will build games nobody else plays, purely for the joy of it.
The thread cites @cdixon's Read Write Own: music fought fan participation while gaming embraced it, birthing the world's biggest franchises. @TAbrodi amplified it.
