I get your idea but I don’t think this is the right approach. 2000 $ is a lot of money in some regions where it would hurt solo Indie devs most. At this point I don’t know if there is regional pricing in those areas for submitting. And for every one else: I am not saying that 2000 $ is nothing, but every one who ever worked in a studio knows how much money is burned in games and this amount would be a minor position on the bill but thats another story.
Maybe a stricter policy about disclaiming where your assets come from would help against slop and asset flips.
And please lets make ai opt-in everywhere. Like I get that websites like itch now have a no ai tag, but this should be active by default. I don’t want to opt out actively every time I browse.
Yes I know, that’s why I said I hope I get down voted for saying it.
But my point is, it would make a significant impact on the asset flips and LLM slop.
I’m not even saying they should do it. Valve has the data to make better decisions than I ever could. I’m sure whatever they’re doing is backed by data. Which is kind of what you said, a disclaimer that they used LLMs/machine synthesis.
