[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (7 children) Why is Valve on the slop side? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] BillyTheKid2@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago (6 children) Valve allows slop on their platform. Their perspective is that gamers won't buy the slop, or rate it bad/refund it if they do, so it's not an issue. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (1 child) I'm glad that Valve isn't intervening so much and allows the publication as if it was their own website. We don't want Valve to decide what slop is and what not, it shouldn't be Valves decision. You don't want to give Valve this power. Instead, inform the user, and let each of them decide for themselves if they want it or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BillyTheKid2@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago* Thank you for seeing it my way! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Epp@lemmus.org 0 points 1 week ago (3 children) The better choice would be to ignore people who childishly refer to games people create as "slop" because they are upset by how good the tools used are. I think they'll get there eventually, but right now it's popular to hate AI. All the cool kids are doing it; especially the bullies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] BillyTheKid2@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 days ago (2 children) I completely disagree with you. Using an LLM doesn't make it "slop" and it's very reductive of you to say it does. What makes it slop is low effort. Asset flips are slop. The fact that you hate ai and call ai work slop is honestly sad. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Epp@lemmus.org -1 points 6 days ago (1 child) I think you may have misread my comment.
