The analysis, posted on Reddit by u/ploz and relayed by Dexerto, covers about 63,600 games released since January 2024. Images dominate, cited by 63% of the developers concerned. AI use is more frequent among games with few reviews. The figures rely solely on developers' declarations. Steam is a leading PC game distribution platform. In summer 2023, Valve was refusing games containing generated images.
