How AI Clones Are Ruining Indie Games

Have you ever been browsing Steam, found a promising new game and realized shortly after that it’s complete AI slop? I certainly have. As generative AI floods the gaming industry, indie devs are facing growing pressure. From solo devs having their prototypes copied within days through "vibecoding" to publishers flooding storefronts with automated knockoffs. Cloning games has become easier and faster than ever and these AI clones are actively harming small indie devs and their work. #indiegames #gamedev #scalethedepths #vibecoding #indiegamedevs
