I do kind of believe this is the "end game" at this point.

"Friend-slop" has already proven wildly successful, and significantly lower effort than AAA games.

Combine this with the fact your game will be stolen and put into Roblox, it really feels like we're approaching a era of just rapidly produced games that live for weeks rather than years.

Yeah agreed, I was talking to a friend few years ago when Google first wiped out blogging by taking over the blog content and showing snippets instead of real links.

Obviously the end-game is for the companies to automate all the text, games, and software so you just go to their feed and pay them a monthly instead of individuals making making this content.

There's multiple reasons people play games. Some people are competitive and play a game thousands of hours to get better at it. So there's always a market for longer lasting games.

I don't see any reason why cheap, short games can't happily live alongside massive polished games in the market.

lol, except most friend slop game is actually good

You be tripping if you actually think AAA soulless that has filled with agenda is better
