Steam's February 2026 Next Fest has drawn criticism from players and developers over a flood of demos featuring generative AI art without proper disclosure. Community members are resorting to sorting by popularity to avoid low-quality content, undermining the event's purpose of showcasing indie titles. Valve's disclosure system for AI use appears ineffective, leading to both genuine misuse and false accusations against legitimate creators.
