Something being possible does not mean it is probable.
Is it possible for monkeys banging on typewriters to generate Shakespeare? Yes. Is it probable? No.

Yeah but these like, philisophical arguments though compelling, are not quite based on actual contextual data of today.
Like I could say, its possible the world is flat because I haven't seen the world, and that would not be probable because of the amount of other people who have seen or navigated the world.
Just like learning how to make 1990s video games there are many examples of indi projects and developers doing it successfully, countless hobby projects, open source unity versions of everquest, downloadable VR mods, emulation servers etc, that it would indicate that what I am saying, IS more probable than not.
And the bet isn't: "what are the odds that someone does this in 3 years?" it's, "how long until someone CAN do it."
The answer is right now.
