The gaming industry has faced some challenges recently. Yesterday, Google revealed Project Genie, a new AI-powered tool that allows users to build interactive game environments simply by providing an image or text description.
This feature, which is exclusive to Google’s priciest AI subscription, is already causing problems for the gaming industry.
As of Friday, many leading public gaming and tech companies have experienced share price declines of up to 20%. Here’s a look at some of the most significant drops:
- Unity down 22.5%
- Roblox down 12.84%
- Take-Two Interactive down 10.56%
- CD Projekt Red down 8.91%
- Nintendo down 4.79%
The stock market is reacting with fear to increasing competition and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in gaming. This week’s downturn seems like an overreaction, and it’s unclear if the market will recover next week. However, it’s evident that investors are concerned about the future of the gaming industry.
