❌ Vibecoders are killing indie game marketing — devs are afraid to release demos or show gameplay And it's only getting worse: — For most indie devs, gameplay videos and demos on social media are the only way to get their game noticed — But that's changing fast.

Clones hit the market before the originals — The classic example happened on X: a game didn't even have a Steam page yet but it was already copied in Roblox — The creators of Drunken Goddess Reflux, a "Russian roulette with a succubus" game, canceled their demo release just to protect themselves from vibecoder rip-offs — And then there's the meme Needle in a Haystack Simulator — it hasn't even launched but already has 11 clones on Steam It's scary to think what happens when they can copy even bigger and more complex games.

So the price will likely be close to the production cost, but don't expect any miracles. Big shoutout to everyone who caused the memory crisis.

It's a wild ride with explosions, insane pacing, tons of twists, brutal moments and top-tier set pieces.
