Steam :: Steamworks Development :: AI Content on Steam
steamcommunity.com
Back in June, we shared that while our goal continues to be shipping as many games as possible on Steam, we needed some time to learn about the fast-moving and legally murky space of AI technology, especially given Steam's worldwide reach. Today, after spending the last few months learning more about this space and talking with game developers, we are making changes to how we handle games that use AI technology. This will enable us to release the vast majority of games that use it.

Key points:

  • new questions for devs submitting their games (about pre- and live-generated AI content, guardrails preventing generation of anything illegal)
  • disclaimers on game’s store page
  • new system for reporting illegal content straight from in-game overlay

    I have a very strong gut feeling that some 98% of all games mades “mostly with AI” will be shit, cheap shovelware.

    I can think of one legitimate use: character portraits in RPGs. I strongly doubt that there are more.

    Dope. I can’t wait to have meaningful generative content in a game I play. Will it be perfect? Nah probably not for another 10 years to be honest. But it’s a start. It’ll be nice to not have to rely on a greedy publisher to make a sequel to a beloved game series especially when they’re taking in billions a year from microtransactions. Bring on the human-serving AI

    Pretty cool. I almost had to start liking Epic Store for not having such a dumb stance. The disclaimer on games using generative content is weird, but it’s a solid step forward.
