Low-Quality AI Games Prompt Calls for a Steam Next Fest Filter
AI summary
Valve’s Steam Next Fest opened with what appears to be a larger-than-usual influx of low-quality submissions, including games whose artwork appears to have been generated with AI. Players said they were struggling to find human-made titles and requested a filter for AI-generated content. Steam already requires developers to self-label AI content and has a tagging system, although Valve reduced the number of user-defined tags in May. One player also called for stricter submission rules.
In-depth insight
The complaints show that players are dissatisfied with the volume and quality of AI-assisted submissions and are asking Steam for easier filtering and stricter guidelines as AI use in game development becomes more widespread.
