As a game developer of 30+ years who does programming, art, writing, etc. I applaud this. Making games should not have gatekeepers. Great games come from the imagination. I was lucky to begin my career when the art requirements involved Deluxe Paint and simple sprite work and the games were simple. My first several games were sold at Walmart, CompUSA, EB, GameStop, etc. And I was able to make these games largely on my own. The barrier to making a great game that was commercially viable was within reach of a poor, college kid working 3 jobs. I competed on my ability to work hard, think creatively and listen to my customers. Over the years, the barrier to entry got higher and higher. And so games became a stew of safe pap. It would be an absolute creative tragedy if the next-generation of potential game developers were harassed out of having a chance because they are expected to go out and spend thousands on specialists and tools. Gamers can tell the difference between quality and "AI slop" and reward/punish accordingly. But these tools in the right hands could usher in a renaissance of creativity and innovation that we haven't seen in a long time. xitter.cf/JNavok/status/21048550…
