Unfortunately it is notoriously in the "winning the lottery" situation, partly because it is much easier to build and publish games - even ten years ago the marketing effect of getting a game published on storefronts like Steam was waning, now it is basically zero (unfortunately, many people will still discard games out of hand if they aren't available there.)

> But with the advent of AI in almost all tools these days, I'm wondering if its more accessible now and building/publishing a game is easier than ever ?

Also worth noting that storefronts like Steam and Itch expect you (but obviously can't force you) to disclose whether you've used generative models to create assets - which turns away people who consider them unethical or a mark of shovelware
