Epic CEO Says Steam AI Disclosure Is Killing Developers - Memeburn
Summary
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney criticizes Steam’s AI disclosure rule and argues that it unfairly hurts developers before launch. The article says Valve requires disclosures for AI-generated in-game content but not for behind-the-scenes coding tools. It also cites data showing AI-tagged Steam games received far fewer reviews than comparable titles. The piece connects this debate to Epic’s own AI plans for Unreal Engine 6, which will embed Claude and Gemini into the development workflow. The main takeaway is that AI labels have become a commercial flashpoint for game studios and platform owners.
