Indie game storefront Itch.io has announced it removed "a couple terabytes of AI slop" and has begun taking steps to combat the deluge of AI-created games appearing on the platform. "Just because you can upload 10 terabytes of poorly optimized AI-generated models doesn't mean you should upload 10 terabytes of poorly optimized AI-generated models," Itch wrote in a social media post.

That works out to about $23/game, but it's more nuanced than that, as some of the games are bundles themselves. For example, one of the games in the bundle, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, includes Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4. There are Gears of War and Age of Empire bundles, too. Some of the games in the bundle are for both Xbox and PC, and some are just for Xbox or just for PC.
