(Peter Molyneux is the game developer that always over-promises, not to be confused with Stefan Molyneux, who is just some fascist.)

Peter Molyneux thinks players will be able to generate games from a single prompt in 25 years.

They'll be forgettable slop, and there will be so much of that forgettable slop that it will be even harder to find actually good games than it already is if that happens.

Techbros will jack off even harder than ever about how us "meat computers" are obsolete, assigning personhood (if not godhood) to their treat printers while denigrating increasingly marginalized living people, all the while swimming in the slop flood of treat printed "games" that will mostly feature idealized copy of a copy sex partners reciting convincing scripts about how much they unconditionally love the techbro that typed the prompt that made them and pressed enter. same-as-it-ever-was
