Okay, so some games are more susceptible to this. No Man’s Sky. But half of the glory of Balatro is the weird jokers. Or on a story-based RPG, all the writing. Or a doom-like, the levels. It seems like what makes it less cloneable is the human touch.

True, I don't think the clones reach the height of what they copy - But they certainly muddle the space.

I saw an indie game that was basically a cafe manager sim and it's sad to me that 90% of that game could absolutely be instantly cloned with AI, not the dialogue but every one of the systems the dev spent so much time on.
