Steam Next Fest is being flooded with thousands of low-effort games, while developers are becoming reluctant to share their work for fear of seeing it quickly cloned.
One of the issues will be server space, I imagine. Where these agents are at right meow means a whole bunch of people can dump slop games at a rate we’ve never imagined.
I think they’ll have to find a way to weed out a lot and stay ahead of this.
A simple tag for users is nice bc some don’t want any part of it but it would also be a nice heads up for everyone.
People pay a $100 fee to list their game on steam. For most slop games the will probably cover storing them for the rest of time at the scale valve has. I don’t think that’ll have much impact.
