When it comes to copying games like this, blaming AI misses the point. A simple, repetitive concept can be copied in a couple of days without AI.
If that’s your game, consider saving the reveal for release. Or build more depth, systems, and content that make it harder to copy.

I don't see a world where creative people will release anything ever again. people steal it the moment you publish it. if you try to turn an idea into a digital product in the hope to get anything back, stop, this game is over. barrier of entry became $20 subscription. your competition is basically anyone motivated enough to put in prompts for a day and steal the early mover advantage.
pivot to hardware/robotics where for the entry you need to put money and skills on the table that isn't yet solved by clankers.
that's why frontier labs pay you hundreds of thousands of dollar for your small business company's data btw, because they want to automate digital business as a whole, not only their digital product.
I wonder how this will turn out for people that still have the distribution advantage (like many followers), if this will fade away as well or becomes the moat.
And I wonder how this will turn out for people with no reach at all - will they just don't try any idea anymore, just give up? That would be catastrophic for our progress in society

I know this is going to sound dark. But based on the resumes and portfolios I see, 90% of the people who want to work in game dev are not good enough to work in game dev.

You'd think with the amount of hate Larian is getting at the moment, that the Game of The Year didn't use GenAi or something 🤔

one of my most deeply held beliefs about my profession is that it was a mistake to teach words like “optimization” to people who have had their brains surgically removed
No one wants to hear the truth I guess.

Prepackaged engines will never. Make your own, it’s the only way forward.
