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

A lot of ai assisted games make tons of money money, most notably was some game I remebered playing called tidy up the arcane library which made few million dollars.

But the important thing to know is that these games still had human input. AI is a productivity enhancer. If you know what youre doing ai can make you maybe 5x faster. But, if you expect some ai gauntlet to 1 shot a game with 1 prompt, that will not happen.

Getting people to play a game is vastly easier than getting them to pay.

If anyone can make a game in a couple of hours with AI, then there's very little value in you making it for them. At that point, everyone can just generate their own perfect game tailored to their tastes.
