Sepreth(@Sepreth):Epic Games online director says Valve’s response to Steam’s AI clone and slop problem “isn’t enough.” Valve recently acknowledged the issue at a developer event, saying it has people working on discovery improvements but that it doesn’t want to be “gatekeepers” on which tools developers use. The comments come as Epic itself has pushed hard on AI, with CEO Tim Sweeney calling Steam’s AI disclosure tags “really irresponsible” and the company moving toward AI-first development on at least one internal project.
