Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are)
-
Yesterday, Google announced Project Genie, a new generative AI tool that can apparently create entire games from just prompts. It leverages the Genie 3 and Gemini models to generate a 60-second interactive world rather than a fully playable one. Despite this, many investors were scared out of their wits, imagining this as the future of game development, resulting in a massive stock sell-off that has sent the share prices of various video game companies plummeting.
The firms affected by this include Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive, developer/distributors like CD Projekt Red and Nintendo, along with even Roblox — that one actually makes sense. Most of the games you find on the platform, including the infamous "Steal a Brainrot," are not too far from AI slop, so it's poetic that the product of a neural network is what hurt its stock.
Unity's share price fell the most at 20%, since it's a popular game engine. Generally speaking, that's how most games operate: they use a software framework, such as Unity or Unreal Engine, which provides basic functionality like physics, rendering, input, and sound. Studios then build their vision on top of these, and some developers even have their own custom in-house solutions, such as Rockstar's RAGE or Guerrilla's Decima.
If this is widely adopted, I have enough emulators and classic PC games to never buy another game in my life and still be entertained the whole time. Good luck, corpo dipshits.

If you ever feel like you're stupid, ignorant, absolutely microbe-brained, and that no one on this planet could possibly be more braincell starved than you:
remember that at least you don't invest in the stock market for a living -

- Step 1 : buy some shares that fell down
- Step 2 : Wait for the IA fuckery to collapse

It’s Google, so it will last two years MAX.

This. My back log of physical DS and 3ds games is extensive and grows a little every time I remember I have the eBay app on my phone. Sorry wallet.

You just described why it won't be widely adopted.

So what i am hearing is buy in the dip?

Tools like Project Genie could genuinely help here, saving developers time they'd otherwise spend in the early stages of the game, before level design is locked in.
But in that way, AI is the solution to an artificial problem that should've been solved without it; for all that matters, devs could still find a way to balloon productions out of control even with Project Genie and a hundred other generative AI models at the helm.The more likely end result is that devs will find it so easy to start something that they'll start 100 projects, or try 100 different ideas, but be completely unable to lock on and focus on any one, because there's always a greener grass a single prompt away.

This will never be widely accepted in the gaming space because it's not a game. The model only generates an interactive world, not a game world. It's effectively a glorified AI prompted showroom. It's useless as a development tool because nothing it generates is usable in the traditional development process which means the model would have to create the whole game but the model is incapable of understanding what a game is.

If can grow more if you know the way of Luma CFW and Twilight Menu ++
...., much, much more

Investors never played a real video game. They dont undestand the difference between video (ai generated) and a video game.

Same. I have spent years building my game libraries just for stupid shit like this.

Its a step in that direction though

That's all it does so far.
But I doubt AI games will succeed, people are always going to want the human touch when it comes to art.

So… it’s as good as Starfield then but without load screens?

I tried an in-browser demo of something like this that Microsoft recently took down, and it was an image diffuser running an agent that could contextualize mouse+keyboard or gamepad gameplay inputs to behind-the-hood text prompts.
It looked like I was playing a Quake 2 clone, and almost played exactly like it, but weirdly turn-based when I didn't do anything because it was just an AI generating images. It remembered the corpses of the bad guys I shot and it also kinda remembered the environment it made, including ramps that go up another floor and opened doorways that led to other areas.
Its cool, but not really a good game, very jank and likely resource intensive, which made sense why they took it down.

I wonder how bugs are patched or any updates are made to the games. There is no source code either, right? Even if it produces full games, they seem to be worthless and a copy paste at best. Whatever happens in the future, there will always be classic programmers and designers with a vision and talent, who will create wonderful games. And that is even a good selling point.
