ezst036 Listening to the whines of Tim the Corporatist turns my ear into tin. This guy is a complete nothing burger. He charges more for games on his store than Steam does on their store, he doesn't innovate jack, he just waits for other people to come up with new stuff and then plays to popularity and tries to make the most buck for the least amount of money. I can't stand corporatists. He is a billionaire and its not enough billions, he is a billionaire and he still keeps whining. Hey Tim, go lower your insane prices and we'll listen to you. Reply

hotaru251 90% of the "ai" games are slop cash grabs. if games w/ "ai" start being good then maybe the tag will stop being a bad thing..but until then clearly stating if uses ai is correct path. Reply

-Fran- So disclosing what tooling you use for the game is a bad thing? What is that backwards logic all about? What a friggen' clown. Regards. Reply

The developers set their prices, not the platforms. Steam takes a much larger cut of the sales. Reply

timsSOFTWARE I think the biggest issue with AI tags is that they are somewhat open to interpretation and rely on honesty in self-reporting. There is a line to be drawn somewhere between, "I did a Google search once, and Gemini suggested something to me and it helped me with development", and "All of the assets and code in the game are AI-generated – I actually can't code or create art myself." But without that line being clearly defined, it's left open to interpretation – and honesty. Ie., if none of the shipping code and content in the game are AI generated, but you used AI concept art, AI placeholder assets, AI advice and sample code – is that an AI-developed game or not? And if you have to count that as AI development, then how far do you have to back off from there, before it can be counted as a non-AI production. Reply

alan.campbell99 Using LLMs to review code, AI that will inevitably hallucinate at some point , probably won't guarantee completely reliable product. How often do software engineers have to check outputs? I mean, on the face of it removing that sort of drudge work sounds appealing but if it ends up that a human still has to review the reviewer will it work out well in the end? Reply

Arkitekt78 Hes allowed to be wrong. AI games are crap, and they should be flagged. Doesn't keep people from buying them, but gives the consumers all the information so they can avoid garbage slop games if they want to. Reply

Humans hallucinate as well. That's why we have peer review. Reply
