Back in June, we shared that while our goal continues to be shipping as many games as possible on Steam, we needed some time to learn about the fast-moving and legally murky space of AI technology, especially given Steam's worldwide reach. Today, after spending the last few months learning more about this space and talking with game developers, we are making changes to how we handle games that use AI technology. This will enable us to release the vast majority of games that use it.
Key points:
new questions for devs submitting their games (about pre- and live-generated AI content, guardrails preventing generation of anything illegal)
disclaimers on game’s store page
new system for reporting illegal content straight from in-game overlay
texture work. you can generate seamless repeating textures pretty quickly
