Steam Wants Devs to Play Their Games For At Least 5 Minutes First (www.techpowerup.com)

Apparently, Valve keeps getting builds that were never run through Steam at all, which is how games end up with broken launch options or missing depots.

5 minutes is paltry.

Yes, but I feel like this is intended more to curb AI-generated games that are submitted to Steam without any testing. This is just adding a layer of "a human (or something close-enough to a human) launched the game and didn't find it immediately unsuitable for public release", which I guess wasn't there before.

Yeah, it's "this game can start and the most basic controls work"
