Triple Dragon sees AI as a cost and efficiency tailwind, not a revenue threat: it can lower prototyping, concept art and mobile UA costs, while hit games still depend on gameplay, community and discoverability rather than cheap content. The Iran conflict is not affecting demand today; if higher fuel costs curb travel, some discretionary spend could shift toward at-home leisure, which may be marginally positive for games.
