Valve tweak Steam AI disclosure form for developers to clarify it's for content consumed by players
17 Jan 2026 at 10:34 pm UTC Likes: 5

Quoting: poiuzLet's translate Valve's message:

Efficiency gains through the use of these tools is not the focus of this section.
"Basically everyone is using AI."
Of course. It's a tool. Nobody stops you from taking the horse, but I'll be probably faster than you using my car.

Quoting: poiuz
Instead, it is concerned with the use of AI in creating content that ships with your game, and is consume by player. This includes content such as artwork, sound, narrative, localization, etc.
"Let's stop being transparent & declare only stuff we obviously can't deny."

But reading the article it seems to work - ignorance is bliss.
I really don't get the negative resentment from a lot of people with AI. It's a tool. It can't replace people, although many seem to think so. Right now, it simply can't. I mean, you probably could for some smaller things, but quality wise it's not the best idea.
What it does is to aid you, to let you iterate faster. Do the annoying things... *shrugs*

Related to the code, I couldn't care less if someone uses AI to aid in coding, as long as the result is proper, clean code. And as a gamer, a stable game that doesn't crash or has weird bugs. How that is achieved, I really don't care, so why tick boxes for that?

Stellar Blade and Claire Obscure are my favs this year. 😊

Let's Build a Dungeon sounds like such a fun idea as it hits 140,000 Steam wishlists

Valve confirm that Steam purchases with PayPal have been limited to a few select currencies

I miss the days when you could pay your games on steam with bitcoins. In hindsight, these were extremely expensive games I've bought, but hey, never look back.

Would solve the problem with the payment providers, although they'd need a new provider to cash out, I guess.

Lost Ark from Amazon Games appears to have enabled the anti-cheat for Linux / SteamOS

I get the impression that once their numbers drop, they open up to Linux. Just a feeling, though. Can't explain otherwise why they didn't enable it earlier. They did the same with New World. Not that I'm still interested after all this time, but: yay! *shrugs*

OBS Studio 31.1.0 Beta 1 brings Multitrack Video to Linux

Partners always get the multiple quality streams
Affiliates get what's left
If then there's any resource left, the small streamers get the option as well, but most of the time they don't.

So, cool that we now can provide our own multiple quality streams to make sure it is available. :smile:
