Should game developers be forced to declare any usage of AI? Epic’s billionaire CEO Tim Sweeney is against it — “AI will be involved in nearly all future production”

Currently, Steam and other storefronts require developers to disclose whether generative AI is used in their games. This appears as a clear AI-generated content disclosure on each store page.

Supporters say it helps them make an informed choice and avoid what many are calling AI slop, a term aimed at low-effort releases designed to make a quick profit. This has also led to some indie developers promoting their work as AI-free to build trust and stand out online.
