My concern is that a “No AI” filter could end up being a net negative for transparency. It would give developers an incentive to leave out the disclosure, and there’s only so much @valvesoftware could realistically verify. AI code is a good example of something developers could quietly use without it being obvious to anyone playing the game. Giving players more choice is a good thing. But if disclosing AI use means losing visibility through a filter - or potentially being disadvantaged in recommendations - then I worry we’ll get fewer honest disclosures, rather than less AI. ign.com/articles/steam-fans-…

'People Playground' has disabled its @Steam Workshop following another malware outbreak. @mestiez warns affected users that the malware may delete personal files, damage Steam/Steam Cloud data and even republish itself through the Workshop to spread further. If you use 'People Playground' mods and launched the game on September 21st between 18:00 and 20:00 CEST, Mestiez recommends running an antivirus scan, deleting everything in the game's Mods folder and changing your @discord password. Don't reopen the game until the all-clear. The potential ability for malware to republish itself through Steam Workshop is particularly concerning. I'm watching for further technical analysis of exactly how this worked - and whether @valvesoftware intends to introduce any wider safeguards. store.steampowered.com/news/…

@potatopleasee bears striking similarities to @Radoslaw_Klasa's GMTK prototype - but this is disputed, not settled. Klasa alleges his concept was cloned; @GoldenHornDev says it never saw his game and developed its own independently.

UPDATE: @Lootbound_'s Paid Positive Reviews @ArtDock1 has now responded to our investigation. However, their response still leaves major questions unanswered. Our full follow-up: steamcommunity.com/groups/Se…
