Written by Michail Katkoff , who uses AI daily to boost productivity, spark creativity, and occasionally generate ethically questionable spreadsheets. The future of game development won’t be about speed. It’ll be about ethics, intent, and ownership. In a recent conversation with George Ng , CTO of GGWP , I got to explore the real impact of AI.

Multiplayer games have evolved from pure session-based and traditional massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) to newer online experiences that combine persistent and session-based elements. Games such as Destiny 2 and Rust are great examples of this. The persistent gameplay can be “hubs” or “home worlds” that players wander in and interact with, then launch into session-based experiences.
