  • They’re basically trying to solve a problem that gaming has had for 20 years.

    Low quality clones asset flips in cash grabs have always been a problem. It’s always been a problem on steam.

    The issue is AI just makes it easier to do in faster to do so there’s more of them. It’s not a new problem though.

    They have been trying to solve this problem for a decade. This isn’t a problem that’s likely actually solvable.

    Cuz no matter what you do, you’re going to hurt legitimate devs far more than the cash. Grab guys the slop cloners.

    You’re also going to knock out the slowly growing group of people who are using AI to make their little dream games but actually do it well.

    There’s not a lot of them but they’re popping up on places like itch or just on GitHub pages.

    I don’t envy valve the fact they’re even attempting to tackle while expected because it is their store is also genuinely commendable. Most companies would look at this go f*** that it ain’t worth the effort and then f*** off.





  • Slopping asset flip and cash grab games have always been a problem. That’s nothing new. AI just made it easier to do.

    This is a problem that’s existed for 20 years basically. AI has only just made it more of a problem. It’s not new.

    If we could have solved this problem we already would have.

    AI disclosure at a minimum I agree with wholeheartedly.

    But basically every other solution everyone is throwing around is more or less just f****** stupid. Someone who legitimately makes a game for themselves. That is actually fun because they made it for the purpose of them themselves playing it. Even if they used nothing but AI is still probably going to be a better game than some half-assed cash grab or asset flip made by a legitimate human with no AI.

    The problem isn’t AI. The problem is s***** people making s***** games with no integrity or intent to play their own creation.

    If you want a fun game, you have to make a game you would play. How you enforce that is f****** beyond me though.


  • Yeah out of 100 vibe coded games. Iv come across like 3 that were legitimately good.

    Those three where actually very very good games But they were tiny little things clearly made because the guy who made them WANTED to play them.

    While the rest where just asset flips or clearly just attempting to make a cheap quick buck.

    It’s just a great example of the problem. AI by itself doesn’t cause an issue. We already had this problem. Asset flips low-called a crash grabs have always been a thing.

    Problem AI caused is now it’s a thousand times easier for literally every lazy f*** to do this.

    Banning AI games should not happen. It is possible to make something legitimately fun and worthwhile playing with nothing but AI.

    We need to solve the fact that every d****** can just s*** onto the steam store with no effort and leave something half built and abandoned.

    Disclosure at a minimum. Better filtering harsher vote waiting.

    My problem is every other idea I can think of unfairly smacks legitimate AI games or legitimate games that use AI as an actual proper tool as opposed to just a lazy way to asset flip.

    Is not a lot of good ways to do this. To be fair, if there were we wouldn’t have asset flips in low quality cash crabs either.









  • I dont know what magical humans you interact with. But the claim someone else doesn’t have a bias you may not be aware of… is fucking wild. People are wildly complex and the chances of you even REMOTELY understanding a fraction of their biases or thought processes with out extreme amounts of exposure and discussion with them is comical at best.

    An LLM is infinitely more predictable and obvious in its biases then a human.

    I will 100% agree on the people are less likely to just agree with you. Unless they really do not give a shit about the work at hand but then its really obvious.





  • Uhh… there is an entire sterotype of the sort of people that offload their thinking to others and have been made fun of for it for god… most of history?

    The yes-man, lemming, weathervane, sheep, npc, doormat. The list goes on and on. Its been called a load of crap though the ages. But never thinking and just doing what your told or offloading your entire thinking load to others. IS VERY much a thing. LONG before ai.
