Valve Knows Steam Has An AI Slop Problem And Has A ‘Significant Number Of People’ Working On It

Steam Next Fest has come and gone, and one of the big criticisms of the semi-regular showcase for game demos--aside from there being several thousand of them --was that there was simply too much AI slop floating to the top. Valve has responded to the feedback, and for now, its solution to avoiding hastily vibe-coded game demos is to simply be patient and wait a few days before diving in. Speaking at the Steam Indie Connect developer event (via Inven Global ), Tom Giardino and Marc Wilkinson from Valve's Steam Business Team addressed the recent criticisms of Next Fest. Wilkinson explained that users are shown a completely random lineup of game demos for the first two days of Next Fest, but after that time period, people can expect personalized recommendations to kick in. Wilkinson also added that many of the features about low-quality games surfacing were written during those first two da

Nintendo Indie World’s Weirdest Game Got Me To Relax

I often feel compelled to beeline my way through games--I'll do plenty of optional quests, but rarely do I find myself slowing down to take in the sights or just goof around. It's pedal to the metal at all times. My Arms Are Longer Now, which was featured in today's Nintendo Indie World stream , is the rare game to break me out of that compulsion. A demo was recently released for My Arms Are Longer Now, and despite consisting of just the game's opening level, I spent much longer with it than I would have expected. I often treat demos as a quick taste to get an impression of something before moving on, especially during Next Fests.
