The past four weeks have been something of a wake-up call for the video game industry. You’ve read the headlines, so you know the deal by now: AI advancements spearheaded by Claude Opus 5.5 have turned the world of coding on its axis. Decompilations that used to take months, or even years, are now being pumped out on a daily basis, and publishers can’t keep up with the deluge of vibe-coded browser ports and “native” PC recompilations.

I’ve been covering and researching this over the past month, and there’s one recurring topic that keeps popping up in every comment section I read: karma. For many, this is the video game industry’s “you reap what you sow” moment, proof that the AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword.

    [Removed comment about systems that will code-on-the-go and the end of game engines/software as we know it.]

        Look, I genuinely mean this: Horses are better than cars. A car doesn’t care about you. A car isn’t like having a friend where ever you go. A car won’t nurture your empathy. Cars go too fast, cars are for people in a rush. Cars kill far more people than horses. Cars aren’t self-driving. A car won’t avoid damage.

        Horses are better than cars. I mean that.

        Cars sound like abysmal dogshit. I’m not advocating for cars, or AI.

        There’s plenty of people in this world, right now, who highly enjoy sitting down to write at type writers. Nothing between you and the words appearing in ink.
