Oh I want a new hypothesis:

4) Video games can't compete with tiktok/insta. The attention economy is limited, without more players or more spending in the market, its not as sustainable to create more video games

My initial thoughts are Cursor is already generalised to build all software, and Games are just a subset of all software. So it’s probably good enough.

Also point 3 “No money in gaming” is probably the main factor. There is orders of magnitude less money in gaming, than in SAAS. Think of how much money businesses pay for even basic software.

I’d also say performance is so critical and specific to every game, that getting AI to manage & architect it is fairly difficult (slop kills performance). This is nowhere near as big of a concern for most SAAS (slop friendly)

Even with all these reasons, I still think it’s worth trying to build!
