It is now possible to make games by connecting bubbles together and the price is insanely cheap if you don't value your time. The shit must flow.

Are you insinuating that my masterpiece Diarrhea 4 is shit?
Thank you!
It was fun but I was a little lost story-wise because I haven't played Diarrhea 1-3
Okay, this is excellent. Truly a masterpiece of our time.
40 a day? Damn maybe curb them Asset Flips then.
In the age of AI shovelware will be the norm
I remember when Steam curated their store and indie devs complained because Steam didn't select their games - Steam was basically a king maker. In response to those complaints, Valve introduced the Greenlight program and a bunch of asset flips and shovelware started getting the green light. So, Valve added a cost for publishing a game to slow down the volume of crap getting green lit. Since then, they have added the Discovery Queue, Steam Curators (which is useful for specific use cases, like finding couch co-op games or multiplayer games you can self-host), and Next Fest (which brought back demos) to help gamers find the games they want. So, it's not like Valve is ignoring the problem, provided that you think the problem is difficulty finding games you want to play.
Also, my remembrance is that after they opened the store up to more games, they discovered audiences for genres that they (Valve) were not aware had much of audience these days, like visual novels, hidden object games, and adventure games. So yeah, I think if the choice is between less curation with tools to find games or more curation with more indie games or entire genres potentially being overlooked, I prefer the first option.
Out of those games, I wonder how much of them were porn? 50%? 80%? 99%?
I wouldn't be surprised if half of everything in the last 6 months were hentai virtual novels wholly written and image-generated by AI. A quick glance at F95 will certainly make one think so.
Does Steam sell porn games though? I have Cyberpunk and a couple others on Steam but I can’t say I’ve seen anything that is that kind of adult content.
There's a reason steam is adding the ability to hide games in your library.
Do you have mature filters on? I see at least one adult game on the front page all the time, if not a dozen despite having bought only two or three on my account (compared to the better part of 1k games on my list).
Lots of games with advertised screenshots blocked due to being mature, and lots more that don't despite being obviously pornographic.
There is so much on there. There are some really fucked up titles too like "sex with Hitler".
Okay so I read it because I was curious to see what their argument is, and when I finally read it it's that "they can't play them all" ? Like a baby? What? What a useless publication that is too, now all of them are lost completely to the enshittification diarrhea epidemic
it's probably what happens on google play store or other similar platforms
