I think this game got unfairly caught in the crossfire (a sort of dead weight loss of consistently enforcing a policy), but it's easy to imagine Steam drowning in low-effort, slapdash games cranked out using AI. Like the junk you see on mobile, where the games are often "minimal viable ad platforms" rather than a "minimal playable games" (and one would hope for more than the minimum, anyway).
Though the top level comment asserting this is probably more about copyright than quality is probably right as well.
- chii 3y agoSteam is already drowning in low effort trash games. They don't surface much, since being a paid store, the ranking based on sales is pretty accurate to the quality of the game (not to mention the generous 2h refund).

- Ekaros 3y agoYou don't need AI for that. It is already filled with low-effort engine tutorial level junk. I was attacked for saying that entry barrier of 100$ was too low, but clearly that would have been only reasonable way to remove some.
- maxbond 3y agoIf the problem already exists, then in Valve's mind, it ought to be even more concerned, no? Automation would be like pouring gasoline on a fire.
