You will hear the same in pretty much any industry. Farmers get problems if their harvest is too abundant because that means that they have to sell at a loss when this happens, possibly banlrupting them.
Digital products have less of an issue with this, because they don’t have running costs (as long as there are no multiplayer servers needed) but it still becomes a problem for the individual devs who now have to compete with way more competitors than before.
I’ve said this about books, specifically since self-publishing and print-on-demand have saturated the market with garbage.
I say garbage and not slop because this was before AI even became a thing. I can’t imagine how bad it is now, but fortunately I’ve broken my habit of hoarding books so it’s not really something I notice anymore.
We don’t hear that in any other industry.
“My word. There’s too much cake in this cake factory! And there’s too much music out there! Oh no, MORE comic books?!”

It’s how I feel about anime.
Can’t even watch everything.
