I didn’t think I could hate it more, and then I saw the screenshot. I fucking hate this whole thing.
Also, someone vibe coded all that shit in an afternoon.
Absolutely. I work in the industry, and one of my predictions for the coming years is a further commercialization of games as the cost of development falls, either the actual dev or just plain entrance cost. More places will make micro games to sell things, like mobile game ads for every day businesses. I was saying to my wife, I expect politicians and weirder avenues to take up games as a means of engaging with audiences.
I sincerely hate that this is one of the first examples of what I imagined.
