This.

I predict in 10 years time the domain will be expired, nobody will play (let alone pay) the games on here.

With software alone there is no moat, and I am surprised that "smart" engineers didn't think of this far ahead.

This is basic economics.

OP, you might as well have donated $2,300 directly to Anthropic.

Game is just another creative media like books and movies. Does it mean that you believe that those will get expired too?

If you released 80 poorly-written abridged copies of popular novels, I think you'd also struggle to make much money.

Actually it was my fault misreading the comment I replied to. Initially I've read the meaning of it as the whole domain of video games will "get expired" with the advancement of AI.

After re-reading it, I totally agree with the comment message

Important to have those as a foundation or base, to introduce own custom games with broader audience and control the market economy on my own page. My plan is to save on marketing if I already have the user.
