Tim Sweeney is criticizing Valve again over Steam’s requirement for developers to disclose their use of generative AI.
The Epic Games CEO called the policy “abhorrent,” arguing that developers are being forced to make a “political statement” that could be used against them by a s been criticizing the policy since 2025, previously comparing the disclosure to a “Scarlet Letter” and arguing that AI will eventually be part of almost every game production process.

@Pirat_Nationeeney, but lately he seems increasingly out of touch with his own company's products and policies.
Your own marketplace, Fab, requires creators to disclose AI-generated assets. Why is that transparency acceptable when developers buy assets, but suddenly “abhorrent” when consumers buy games?

@AngelStrandTech @Pirat_Nation Its cause hes going down the rabbit hole of "AI = Less money and cost to run his own store"
I used to have epic games launcher on my computer but after hearing so many people having issues with the now "Cuckcoded" launcher.
Anyone who uses AI in Games, Art ETC are just cucks

@Tinywolfy1231 @Pirat_Nation I've shared examples on my profile that challenge the whole “AI slop” narrative. It's not about whether you use AI, but how well you use it.
I just don't understand why Tim attacks Steam over AI disclosure when his own marketplace, Fab, requires it too.

@AngelStrandTech @Pirat_Nation Best guess is something related to copyright. Fully AI generated assets with no “human creative expression” are not copyright protected.

@AngelStrandTech @Pirat_Nation lately?! He's ALWAYS been out of touch and only cared about being a tech bro then give a shit. He defended ubisoft trying to pay their employees in N/F/Ts cause he thought they would "Evolutionize" humanity.

@AngelStrandTech @Pirat_Nation Yeah he’s been very weird since this AI thing started to get more deeper. It’s like he completely lost the main principals and now is just “let’s run it quick as possible no restrictions”… he’s focus changed a lot…
