Given that the person who had their game "replicated" is also an AI slopper, is lying about that, and the "replica" was on Steam before their game was: I feel ok using this as a jumping off point for discussing why I don't think this is anywhere near as much of an issue as people are worried about

How do you even survive as an indie in the current landscape? This is insane.

Fair point, I’d only push back on how it hurts people who are new to making/shipping games. Those people have been told thousands of times “make small, simple games.” and to ship them to learn marketing and what Steam requires. Those folks no longer have the lottery chance of a breakout viral hit.

To be clear, I don’t disagree that it’s overblown at the moment. At the same time, if it hurts ONE indie dev that’s too many. Sitting complicit while it’s “not that bad” is the same as giving consent for it to get worse… at least in the minds of tech CEOs.
