@GutsGloryGames Steam already asks for AI disclosures, but it's self-reported and barely enforced. The tricky part is that AI use isn't automatically bad. Some solid games use it for things like voice lines or textures. The goal should be filtering out low effort, not AI itself.
Do you think Steam raising the game submission fee to $500-1000 per game while reducing its revenue cut to 20% would be the best way to combat the flood of AI generated low effort games being released on Steam?
or is there no solution to this.

@Pishugames The lower cut definitely helps big studios most, but indies win on discoverability. Right now a small game gets buried under dozens of AI releases every day. Less noise means a better shot at being seen, and that matters more than the fee.
@6WaystoSeven Agreed they can afford it, but the problem is scale. Thousands of games come out every year, and "quality" is subjective. Catching obvious AI spam is easy. Deciding what counts as "good enough" is where it gets messy.
@SaveSlot0 Small devs still have options like itch.io, where you can launch for free and see if people like the game. If it gets traction, paying $1000 for Steam is a much easier call. And with fewer low-effort games flooding Steam, the good ones would actually get noticed.
@juonigames Honestly the shovelware isn't what's making Steam money. The top 10% carries the platform, and those devs can pay $1000 without a second thought.
I dont think steam would care
@COWCATGames True, 100$ makes it easier for people to upload low effort games without having much to lose, all they need is one of 10 games to get okiesh traction to make money back.
making it 1000$ I think is where the sweet sport is. It makes people think twice.
We crossed 500 devlogs on PixelPicked ✍️
Every game has a story the final product never shows: the late nights, the cut features, the first time a stranger plays it.
Devlogs are where that story lives. Thank you to every dev sharing theirs.
