They are dreaming about removing thw expensive devs from the dev cycle so they could use AI agents to write games on the fly with "0" costs. At this point why not just weite agents that buy and play games because appealing to himans requires effort and thinking and they dont like

Also this happens sometimes in the gaming space. Nearly every game had their own engine, then most of them started to out source / buy. Then they started to make their own again. Rinse and repeat I guess.
