Agreed. The link here here is to a Reddit post from an relatively unknown person claiming to be quoting a private email from Valve. Kotaku has a bit more reporting, including a second report from a developer on Reddit. Also some comments on skepticism. https://kotaku.com/valve-ai-art-generator-steam-crypto-ban-metaverse-pc-1850590856 https://kotaku.com/valve-ai-art-generator-steam-crypto-ban-m... I'm pretty sure if this is Valve policy they'll have no trouble saying so publicly. I miss the old days of journalism where someone made an effort to get the story correct including responses from the named parties.

Valve made an official statement, which PC Gamer (and others) have reported on. https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-scrutinizing-games-with-ai-assets-on-steam-says-avoiding-copyright-violation-is-the-developers-responsibility/ https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-is-scrutinizing-games-with-ai-... > In its statement to PC Gamer, Valve said that "The introduction of AI can sometimes make it harder to show a developer has sufficient rights in using AI to create assets, including images, text, and music. In particular, there is some legal uncertainty relating to data used to train AI models. It is the developer's responsibility to make sure they have the appropriate rights to ship their game. > We know it is a constantly evolving tech, and our goal is not to discourage the use of it on Steam; instead, we're working through how to integrate it into our already-existing review policies. Stated plainly, our review process is a reflection of current copyright law and policies, not an added layer of our opinion. As these laws and policies evolve over time, so will our process."

To be fair there are still examples of quality journalism, it's just that the internet doesn't care as much for that content, as it doesn't generate the outrage present in this thread. Unfortunately the incentives are aligned with ad revenue instead of accuracy.

Kotaku have proven themselves to be a garbage tabloid in their reporting of NFTs. I would never bother to read anything they had to post.
