Steam Next Fest, many demos criticized for using generative AI
Steam Next Fest is live through June 22, and many demo store pages now include developer disclosures that certain visuals, audio, or gameplay algorithms were produced with generative AI. Notable demos available during the festival include We Were Here Tomorrow, Sludgineers, DENARI, Enigma Heart, and Hexiv, with some pages explicitly listing which assets used AI. That change matters because discovery and trust affect indie publishers and players alike: shoppers may treat AI-made art or sound differently, and developers must decide whether disclosure, curation, or different marketing will influence demo play rates and wishlists.
Have a gander at the steam next fest Hm this game has a cool art style let's have a look "This game uses AI generation for certain visuals, sounds, or algorithms" I'm tired boss
ThatPossessionGuy11I hate having to second-guess every new piece of art or media I encounter now.
Tangy777I'm tired of AI slop poisoning every form of media imaginable. Someone NEEDS to end this madness istg
Tangy772If y'all want a recommendation for a good indie demo, I recommend Pathogenic. It's a twin stick shooter roguelike where you play as a parasite and fight against a human's immune system
A lot of doom and gloom about the industry thanks to Xbox, but Steam Next Fest is here to make sure you know gaming is BACK, baby!
☆「ＹＡＳＥ」IdolismJ ☆15I can't even be mad. It's my fault I jacked up my Steam recommendations by playing a bunch of dating sims and shit. I need to play some normal games I can be recommended normal game and then maybe view Steam in public again
