That’s already happening, I’ve seen it in NHL games. The commentator typically addresses it because the broadcaster has a deal with the betting company and there’s a contractual obligation to make sure viewers see it and know where to get the app.

What is the gatekeeping in the games industry?

Quality free game engines have been available for years. Being a game developer has gotten so accessible that the market is completely jammed with titles and discoverability is very difficult.

I get the feeling from your post that you feel “ability to write code” was something put in place by “gatekeepers” but not only is that not what “gatekeepers” means, but software developers make up a small part of a game’s production team.
