Kieran Warwick says AI could unleash 100,000 short-lived crypto meme games

Illuvium's co-founder says AI tools have cut the cost of building speculative crypto games to days and about $1,000, and predicts a flood of them within a year.

Why it matters: The article ties a possible surge in cheap AI-made crypto games to the memecoin boom and bust, a pattern that pulled in speculative capital and then lost most of its value.

Key points

  • Warwick says AI has cut development of games like Wolf Game and Fishing Frenzy from months to days and around $1,000.
  • He predicts up to 100,000 such games could launch within a year, many lasting only days.
  • Memecoin market value fell from $151bn in December 2024 to $47.2bn by November 2025, per CoinGecko.

Warwick expects the same speculative traders who fuelled memecoins to move across, describing serial game deployers in the way the sector already has serial meme deployers. He wrote on X on Monday that there will be big gains for some and heavy losses for others, and told Cointelegraph that a mass of disposable games is probably not good for the crypto gaming ecosystem in the long run.

Animoca Brands CEO Robby Yung said games that take little effort to make would not become a lasting category, because user retention is the lifeblood of gaming. Mirai Labs CEO Corey Wilton questioned whether extra supply can overcome weak demand, saying his studio shipped six or seven games and found the appetite in Web3 simply is not there.

Dappradar data cited by the article puts $232m in total value locked across 2,356 gaming dapps, with the top 50 gaming tokens worth $3.8bn combined.

What to watch: Illuvium's revamped Overworld is targeted for a full release in the first quarter of 2027.
