AI games have taken over digital storefronts this year. Steam Next Fest, a demo showcase event, was a disaster, as AI games flooded the platform, making it harder for fans to filter the results and find hidden indie gems. According to itch.io, the number of game pages being created has doubled in the past two months, likely related to the popularity of "vibe coding" and AI tools such as Claude. It's not just "original" AI games that are a big concern; AI-generated remakes and copycats have become a growing issue in the gaming industry.
