There would be absolutely zero pushback if Steam mandated a disclosure of what game engine the game used or what modelling program the models were made with.

But suddenly it's a huge deal when they have to disclose if they've used a fraud-funded plagiarism machine. Hmm, wonder why.

    I'd probably push back on requiring model disclosure. Tons of games use purchased assets, and a full accounting of all the relevant software in that chain seems challenging. Additionally, any user-generated content is going to be very difficult to audit for similar reasons.

    Meanwhile, it seems like this would make for a relatively easy way for spiteful individuals to attack developers for "failure to accurately disclose" sorts of things.
