Valve Implements Stricter Policies, Quietly Banning Steam Games with AI-Generated Assets

Despite the developer’s attempts to remove the disputed content from their game, it was ultimately declined. However, Valve made a gesture of goodwill by refunding the app credits used to submit the game.

Valve has stated that the introduction of AI technology can complicate the process of verifying rights to use AI-generated assets, including images, text, and music. The legal uncertainty surrounding the data used to train AI models poses challenges in ensuring compliance with copyright laws. Valve has emphasized that it is the developer’s responsibility to ensure they have the appropriate rights to include AI-generated assets in their games.
