Read the opening.
The industry keeps talking about AI in games as better NPC dialogue. That is the smallest and least interesting version of the opportunity.
Agentic systems will not merely improve NPCs. They will alter quest architecture, faction behavior, social simulation, and world persistence in ways that make large parts of the current NPC model feel structurally obsolete.
Studios, tool builders, and investors who frame agents as dialogue frosting will miss the deeper shift: games are moving from scripted content delivery toward persistent, negotiable systems of agency and consequence.
