AI has created chaos in many areas, including the gaming industry.
Google Genie was a case in point a few weeks ago.
TakeTwo (-10%), Roblox (-10%), and Unity (-20%) all down after Google debuts AI Game Creation Tool

However, I don’t think code alone is what makes a game successful.
Many successful games are like basketball or soccer.
It’s a cultural and social thing.
Shooting is fun but that’s not basketball is all about.
I bet AI can create and update new games easily but it’s the same for sports.
There can be new “sports” coming up – they can be fun to play as well. However, the number of players, the audience, the whole league/industry around a classic sport are the moat.
In the pre-AI era, I don’t think the studio that has top-tier coders is guaranteed to have blockbuster games.
