Cloudflare is making a bold move, inviting developers to build the next Git platform directly on its infrastructure. The company is dangling storage, compute, and global distribution as building blocks, essentially asking the open source community whether the future of code hosting needs to be rethought from the ground up.

During its Open Conference, the studio described preparing for what it calls a future where developers and AI create games together. That framing is careful and deliberate. Capcom isn't abandoning human craft, but it is acknowledging that the economics and scale of game production are pushing the industry toward a genuine reckoning with automation.
