yo @TimSweenyy you should organise an AI game dev boycott where all AI game developers refuse to publish on steam and only publish on Epic
Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI.
The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a “hate mob.”
Sweeney has been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.
A worldwide win.

prediction markets as the latest form of political propaganda intended to shape public opinion & create a false sense of inevitability

Every time a genAI "game dev" says the AI usage disclosure is "punitive", they're lying. Or, more accurately, they're saying "people not wanting to buy my game is punitive". They're not deboosted or deranked for having it, they're not hidden in the store. It's not punitive.

The r/OpenSource subreddit has officially banned anything using AI. In any way. Violators will be permanently banned.
Which means… r/OpenSource will ban anyone submitting anything that, in any way, involves… the Linux kernel.

Game developers who plan to release a game on #Steam: the time for a build review displayed is completely outdated!
It used to be 3-5 days, but nowadays, it takes around 2 weeks for each round of review. You might need 4-6 weeks if have fixes to make. Plan accordingly!

An indie RTS wave is upon us.
Defilade. ZeroSpace. Falling Frontier. GroundInFlames. And a dozen more.
I did deep research on 16 emerging indie RTS titles. Four of them alone account for over 1.3 million Steam wishlists.
Every game broken down: why it stands out, and what it says about where the genre is going.
All in the next Tactical Gaming EXSUM on Monday. Sign up to get it in your inbox, and catch up on the first two installments while you're there (first reply).

so for all the people that think their phone has been listening and targeting ads even though it is almost impossible, it just might have been the tv in the room and that is basically verified xitter.cf/0x0SojalSec/status/211…
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Yes. Period.
The moment I realize a game has GenAI assets, I lose all interest.
I am not spending my hard earned money or limited time on a game that is just stopped commissioned from a computer.
If you aren't passionate enough to actually make the game, why should I care?

This might sound crazy.
But one of the skills you NEED to learn is how to deal with a more and more illiterate society full of emotionally dysregulated people.
If you keep getting frustrated every day over how "ďumb" everything/everyone seems, the stress of it is going to wreck your mind.

Watching COD DMZ discourse…Marathon will never be “popular” and Arc was the biggest accidental pop culture explosion of all time. People simply can not stomach being killed by other players lol

Extraction shooters lifecycle 2025 onward:
Make great PvPvE game
Game gets popular
Fans love it
PvE players see popular game
PvE players buy pvp game and complain
Devs see complaining (fans have no issue so no need to speak)
Devs ruin game for a bunch of trendhopping losers
The PvE narrative will be the death of extraction shooters #tarkov #ARCRaidersJP #CallofDutyModernWarfare4
