In August 2026, a user argued that people could use ChatGPT to make their own games rather than play someone else’s. In October, the same user predicted that “vibe gaming” would undermine game studios’ business model. They also speculated that OpenAI would add a Game Center-like social layer to ChatGPT and envisioned people sharing and monetizing smaller, meme-like games.
