Does all this velocity translate to increased income to the business though. At some point if we are releasing 20x more features, more games, more music, who is actually buying it all?

At this point we're solidifying a lot of stuff for the product: disaster recovery, getting workflows to scale so we can actually sell it to more people, paying off the Fort Knox of tech debt, so, at least in my case, yeah. YMMV.
I'm in a similar boat. When I joined my current company the tech was this 700KLOC legacy behemoth stuck in 2005. It was pretty much all tech debt.
With agents I've been able to make a decent sized dent in it. Lots of this gain is due to AI - but the fact of the matter is we still have 50+ bigger projects we could work on, and non-developers building with AI has increased that number.
Busier than ever, because of AI.
