4 is my favourite. The characters feel way more friendly and chill than the moodyness of 3 and 5 feels a bit rushed like there's no time to just chill with your friends.
It's gonna be an eventuality as the technology gets better. AI made games coded by AI, art assets drawn by AI and stories written by AI. The only thing that might protect developers would be new laws against this. Unfortunately, if legislators didn't help protect horse drawn carriage drivers back then, they sure as shit won't help protect us artist now. I can forsee that the only ones being able to afford buying AI made games, other AIs. With humans being delegated to doing hard labour earning pennies on the dime. AI is inevitable.
