My how fast the AI tech bros move to protect corporations but don't move to protect the average coder, artists, writers.

It's interesting to see modern day "shovelware" is still around. The problem of shitty clones and rip offs of popular games has always been around. Or the classic bait and switch of advertising vs actual gameplay.

The proliferation of these things made possible through the internet and sites like itch.io and sped up by lazy AI slop has certainly made it even more pronounced. The difficulty of finding good indie games amongst a huge pile of trash has only grown.

That's what late stage capitalism mixed with desperation, delusion, and the desire to get rich quick will get you though.
