A Valve artist has defended AI disclosures on storefronts like Steam, saying they only scare those with “low effort” products.

    Ok. I admit I’m not really into the scene and so I’m talking generically. But I see my daughter watch hours of YouTube of other people playing new games and commenting (rather moronically) on them. Seems like a pretty it should be pretty easy to see if the game is worth your money before you buy.

      Many of those Youtubers get paid to play those games, and the ones catering to younger audiences are particularly bad at providing those disclaimers

      And the disclosure wouldn’t change anything for those that do research for their purchaces outside the store page, but it would have an impact on people that don’t.

        But why should it matter at all? They don’t list whether the game was written in c++ or c# because it makes no difference. What matters is the game play. If it’s good, it’s good.

          Sure they do. That’s what game engine disclosure does.

            Do they really? And do you care? I mean I understand if they tell you it’s based on Unity or what other framework systems, because that would dictate a certain look and feel area, but the programming language?

              Coding language for the game engine is directly related to the game performance. Whether most people know about different engines or care about them is not that relevant as it is being disclosed already. But if nobody has an issue with disclosing that which most people might not care about then it really shouldn’t be an isuse to disclose LLM usage which we know a lot of people care about since it has the same or similar considerations as game engine just for a lot more people.
