> There is a lot of cope in the games industry about this ever happening because of how disruptive it would be.

I don't think it would be that disruptive, we already have a sea of sloppy half-baked games to swim in and it hasn't destroyed the industry.

I think what people will quickly find in their holodeck reality is that the average gamer can't think up good games, that the shared playerbase is half the fun, and that there would be a serious shallowness to the experience.

I think what will really happen is that game studios will start pumping out even more shitty mobile games with AI, and the type of people who binge 20 advertainment games per week will be sufficiently numbed.

Meanwhile everyone else will continue to desire the same more genuine and substantive games from studios, that is my prediction.
