It's not just Steam: New game pages created per day on Itch.io have doubled in the last two months, with AI slop the likely culprit
It seems it isn't just Steam that's being flooded with AI slop.
AI Summary
Indie storefront itch.io reported that daily new game pages have doubled, climbing from roughly 3,000 to consistently over 6,000 between August 3 and October 30. The platform shared a bar chart on Bluesky labeling the trend “game events.” Developers are attributing the surge to AI‑generated content, mirroring a comparable rise on Steam, where demos showcased at the recent Next Fest increased from about 4,000 to more than 8,000.
