Hold on guys, I think Sweeny cooking here. Valve has absolutely held gaming back for years.
Valve has held gaming back from being one of the most ad-infested, customer screwing, review hiding, no player count having hobbies ever.
Truly, Valve are the real villains here. Tim Sweeny, the guy who fired 1000 people this year, has a much better platform that we should ALL admire.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says Valve "has held gaming back for years."
Sweeney was replying to Kiaran Ritchie, a former principal animation programmer at Epic, who criticized Steam's 30% cut and said "You could vibe code a Steam alternative in a week." Sweeney wrote that Valve locks developers' PC games into "Steamworks' social walled garden where players can't talk to other players on iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or even other PC stores."
A community note was added saying many games use Steamworks only for authentication to allow crossplay and handle the rest themselves. Sweeney called the note "fake," saying Steam Datagram Relay "isn't related to the things I cited: social, and players talking to each other across platforms."

Former Valve dev Chet Faliszek has fired back at Epic CEO Tim Sweeney over his latest attacks on Steam.
Sweeney claims Valve is holding PC gaming back and criticizes Steam’s AI disclosure rules.
Faliszek argues that these disclosures help players make informed decisions:
“You’re just treating players like they’re stupid.”
He also points out that Epic’s own Fab marketplace uses AI disclosures.
And his response to Sweeney? Put Alan Wake 2 on Steam if you’re really that pro-consumer.

- " we did a survey "
- " 95% of players want an AI label "
- " we are not adding the AI label "
????????
A few weeks ago, we asked the community to submit feedback on how they felt about AI in VRChat.
Here's our takeaways and next steps:

"91% of our user base said they dont want ai, were keeping it anyway because we feel like it"
what was the point of asking your community if your going to give statistics and ignore them

"We’re not adding an “AI-generated” label or AI filters."

For all those who are confused why there are “devs” coming out of the woodwork running defence for Tim Sweeney, and trying to throw shade at Steam too.
They’ll tell you that its about the “30%”, or the “monopoly”, is that so?
I noticed however there’s a common link between all these accounts.
Most of them are actually mainly upset at the Ai disclosures and labels Steam have. They consider the act of transparency as some kind of atrocity committed by Evil Gaben. See pic 1.
Many of them on their bio and posts shill Ai vibe coding, A LOT.
Also, they are super hyped for Unreal Engine 6, which is Ai obsession given game engine form.

"Valve has a monopoly"; no, no it, OBJECTIVELY, doesn't. GOG, itchio, Game Jolt. All these other platformers exist.
'Epic Games and other major competitors are dogshit at game distribution' =/= 'Value has a monopoly'.

Travis Knight says that LAIKA will never use generative AI in their films.
“AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.”
