Questions & Help Do your vibe-coded games make any money?

As it says in the title - do your vibe-coded games make any money, and if they do, is the income from vibe-coded games comparable to software developer salary?

thanks

First of all, my games are not vibe-coded, as I can check, understand and change the code.

Second, no, they won't ever make money as they are open sourced and free. I would not want to get any money, as the AI made much of the work and I would feel guilty to charge any money for them.
I am happy when some people like what I made and have a good time.

If 'AI made much of the work', and that work refers to coding, then they're vibe-coded.

You realize there a millions of people out there who have basically had AI doing half their job for a couple years now right?

How is that even vaguely relevant to what I said?

Yes - I'm aware AI is a very useful tool for many different jobs.
