Since a dev shared his game concept last month, Steam has been flooded with vibe-coded slop clones. This is what "democratising creativity" actually looks like. Even with AI, your ideas are worthless as long as they can be plagiarised at scale. Gen AI was designed for plagiarism, NOT creativity.

Dig this thread. My version of this would be: hey, y'all know those 5500HD laptops you find everywhere from the 10's that can't run Windows anymore? They run Linux great. And Godot runs great. Oh and their specs work out to slightly worse that a Switch 1. And there's a LOT of Switch 1's out there.
