Steam Indie Games Are Quickly Becoming AI's Latest Victim

It has always been intended to be a democratizing storefront, but in many ways, the platform has curdled into a firehose on full blast, with thousands of games launching every month into near-total obscurity. Now, generative AI is making Steam's flood even harder to wade through, and the indie games that once defined the platform are shaping up to become its latest casualties.
