| konnichiwa said: Team Next Fest is facing huge backlash over the rise of AI-slop and low-effort games. The October event has 8,011 demos, nearly twice as many as June., developers say the flood of low-quality “AI slop” is making it harder for real indie games worth to play Back in June, roughly 1 in 5 games at Steam Next Fest disclosed using AI. Now, just a few months later, that number has jumped to around 1 in 3. Some developers have even avoided public demos because they fear their games could be copied. |
I tend to always play some demos, but this time, after looking for a while, I think I'll be skipping Next Fest altogether (unless I find some recommendations), since everything's slowly turning into white noise on Steam.
