I can see how that could be convincing to epic executives, but I do think it’s a bit foolish to build your entire next iteration of the engine based on fears of what Roblox will do to the gaming industry, and the current affordability of AI during the AI bubble.
The fact of AI is that it currently isn’t turning much of a profit for any companies. They are all in fierce competition to give users free stuff in hopes of choking out the other companies and being the last one standing. This is just like how netflix an early streaming services were incredibly affordable, but now have more limited libraries and higher prices. Not everyone will be able to afford these services, and it seems a little foolish to build on such a shifting foundation in the current AI market (regardless of how powerful of a tool it may or may not be).
