Shares of major gaming companies have dropped significantly following the unveiling of Google's generative AI tool, Project Genie, which can create playable, copyrighted worlds. The tool's ability to replicate games has raised concerns among investors, leading to a decline in stock prices. Unity Software's shares fell over 25%, while Roblox's shares decreased by approximately 9% as users began experimenting with recreations of popular game worlds.
