Generative AI tools are making it significantly easier and faster for individuals to clone video game concepts, even without extensive programming experience. A game developer, Freya Holmér, shared a prototype of a Tetris variant on social media, and within days, multiple AI-generated clones appeared on app stores and online. This trend raises concerns about the devaluing of original work and skill, as developers like Holmér feel disincentivized from sharing their creations publicly due to the ease with which AI can replicate and monetize them. AI
