More and more games seem to suck on thier own, but can be great with mods. You have entire platforms like roblox where all the games are more or less mods. How long until the platform itself is community created and managed and the viability of games created by companies dissappears?
Right, so now if some common tools get pulled together by a few people, such that the base game itself is essentially opensource, that could make creating a game is more like modding. And the result would be free. It would also be forkable, and of course easily moddable since it is all open source. That could lead to community created games. No more complaining the devs should do XYZ. Just mod it. I mean some people will always prefer to complain, but lowering the barrier to entry could open the way for enthusiasts to make their own games with less effort. And with AI getting half decent a coding, someone will probably write an agent to lower the barrier even more, especially for the QOL tweaks that current mods often cover.
