I felt like if I didnt spend $1 on something that was the equivalent of me spending $50 to get those same credit card points

4) Video games can't compete with tiktok/insta. The attention economy is limited, without more players or more spending in the market, its not as sustainable to create more video games

If I had to guess there's a couple reasons:

1)Quality-making a good game requires extreme attention to detail all of which is non coding related. The animations on idle characters, how the background characters look, the sound design and clever story. 90% of gaming is art

2) backlash from players. I think this is an important factor but not the dominant factor. For reasons like games like Slotbound have had amazing positive responses despite being ai generated as long as they are high quality. On the flip side reputation does matter for major studios so adoption can be slow.

3)No money in the industry. Most game studios aren't raining in money, therefore making video games would be an expensive and time consuming hobby that got slightly easier, but is still difficult. A normal prosumer simply doesn't have the time nor dedication to make an project that is going to take months of their time

These are my guesses, but I would love to hear responses from people in the industry or people who have attempted this idea or VCs who have their own thesis on the market.

p.s. this isn't a lazy attempt startup research, I'm seriously just curious

For a 30 second video it'll be around $7.50 for a 30 second 720p 16:9 video. (lower than I heard)

And 2.5 is actually available now through their Lumina business package(it's like $300/month) right now, or it'll be released via api in 1-2 weeks

If your metrics are good, increasing test scores is the thing thats 100% going yo get schools on board

Almost all the founders who have tried to go into education have come out with similar thoughts.

Schools are basically legacy companies with low nps products. It might do you better to vertically integrate as hard as that is
