Klima believes that instead of replacing half of a team of devs, player demand for bigger and bigger games will invariably drive studios to keep their human dev teams the same size, but augmented by AI. This would, he says, allow them to make even bigger games than they could beforehand. The game that offers players more &#8220;is going to be better&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It can mean [the game] has more branching classes,&#8221; Klima adds. &#8220;It can mean it has more missions to play, whatever\u2014people will still want to have this bigger game.&#8221; While AI may not reduce the cost of the game, it will allow us to create bigger games for the same cost&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Some studios have been using machine learning to cut out busy work that only bogs its developers down for a while now, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/world-of-warcraft\/were-not-using-generative-ai-within-wow-says-franchise-director-john-hight-though-the-teams-been-using-machine-learning-to-cut-out-busywork\/\">Warcraft<\/a>.
