- Epic Games offers $65,000 in prizes to vibe code a game in four days, then makes AI optional.
- Epic Games’ CEO believes a “golden age of gaming” is imminent, while GamingOnLinux calls Epic’s AI approach “completely off the deep end” and GameSpot says it is time for the company and CEO to “touch grass.”
