• The number of programmers will increase as more people have access to the tools needed to create simple a game.

Game is wrong, because if you write it without the indefinite article, it means wild animals and birds that are hunted for food and sports.

However:

• The number of programmers will increase as more people have access to the tools needed to create simple games.

Without the indenite article game should be pluralized as you see above.
