| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Minor AI · solid production, medium confidenceReasoningThe disclosure states AI was used for coding only, with all other aspects human-made. Code is not a shipped asset players see or hear, so AI scope stays minor. Two releases in 12 months and 104 reviews at 85% positive show no volume-release pattern. Against: A Steam curator says gen AI was used for coding, consistent with the disclosure but not adding new asset-level evidence. |
