> They get out gunned by the AAA studios What does this even mean? Nobody was prevented from making a game; you are just describing the market dynamics of the previous human configuration, which of course are going to change along with the rest of this evolution. And in any case, it's a great time to be a gamer! So many awesome indy games every day. > And I think the last thing Music needs is even more artists putting out more generated much into the store. I mean... I look forward to other people making generated music, and who knows, maybe I'll give it a shot someday. How does it prevent you and I from making the music that speaks to us?

>you are just describing the market dynamics of the previous human configuration, which of course are going to change along with the rest of this evolution. The same SEO optimized spam that riddles Google search applies to games as well. These asset flips and large studios and mobile games will do all the same tricks, except now they can make 20 games a year or more instead of 5. In short, it will be harder for an indie to stand out, and you as a gamer to find what you want to play. People already complain about steam being ridden with trash in their recommendations, this will accelerate it. You can call it "market dybanics" but it won't be one that benefits you nor me. >How does it prevent you and I from making the music that speaks to us? Put lack of talent, assumedly. Talent said spammers don't care about because they are just flooding the store and seeing what works, but talent what we would care about. Art is also in general not easy to "make for ourselves". We don't know what kind of art per se that we would or wouldn't appreciate without external exposure. By definition our own art can't really challenge our own beliefs. So we want to share those ideas with others. And that's where the trouble begins.
