00:00Valve has recently added a mandatory AI use disclosure to games on Steam,
00:05and it's caused a lot of discussion. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney even called the policy
00:11really irresponsible and unfair to game developers. However, we've spoken to nearly
00:16three dozen game developers and several of them argued Gen AI use should be clear to customers.
00:23Gamers have a right to know how their games are made and a right to choose what they're supporting,
00:27says Brian Berge, creator of simulated MMO Erin Shaw. Steam's required AI disclosure is the
00:34right move here for the sake of transparency. Brandon Sheffield, a veteran of the industry
00:39now directing Demon School dev Necrosoft Games, agrees Valve is in the right.
00:45I am glad Steam requires an AI disclosure, even if many devs simply don't disclose it.
00:51I wish all platforms would do the same, he says.
00:54Helen Carmichael of forbidden solitaire studio Grey Alien Games is of a similar mind.
01:00It's good that on some platforms it's being declared as transparency matters, she says.
01:06Similar comments came from Pal World and Pocket Pair comms lead John Buckley, who says,
01:11Gamers don't want AI and touched on store disclosures.
01:15How do you feel about Steam tagging AI in games? Do you care if a game is made using AI?
01:20Bye!
01:20Bye!
