Ask HN: Why I rarely see game dev startup here?

Do investors despise game development companies, and do you have to go solo? If so, I would have expected to see at least one on Show HN. Or maybe I missed it—definitely not as popular as other apps.

Also, why haven’t LLM wrappers penetrated this sector? Is it because OpenAI and other “parasites” haven’t had the opportunity to access source code to build their wholesale theft, so they don’t have the code to instruct you to build games? Or maybe there are a lot, and I just missed them.

For most other ideas you can build a quick MVP to validate or perhaps even just a landing page. Games take much longer to get off the ground.

I think the reason we don't see many LLM wrappers is because Games are technically complex, multi-disciplinary and ever changing.
