"Use of generative AI among game developers has declined after rising sharply in 2025, according to new data from the Game Developer Collective and Omdia. The survey shows 29% of developers reported using generative AI tools in early 2026, compared with 36% during the same period in 2025."

    The main difference between Ai and the .com bubble is that AI has it's enshitification built in. It's 2026; Tech companies are in unison degrading their products and engaging in anti-consumer practices that would not have happened in the .com era. Generative Ai tools will follow a regular tech "disruption cycle." it will be sold at a discount to game devs as a miracle tool and when they are dumb enough to de-skill the tech corpo oligarchs will raise the prices 500% and give the individual user a more neutered product compared to their own monopolies.

    And with that aside what a waste of my life to throw away on the creative output of a machine. Especially with so many great human-made games out there. If every game in the future is made by a fucking AI, then I can just sit back and enjoy the human made backlog. Or search for communities of humans who still enjoy creating.

    In my eyes the AI bubble is an attempt of monopolization of all white collar industries by a the tech oligarch degenerates. Things will get increasingly worse if we let them.
