| AI judgment deepseek-flash | Major AI · mixed signals, high confidenceReasoningThe disclosure lists AI generation across several major asset types: visuals, text, audio, UI, and code. This goes well beyond store assets or minor details, so scope is major. Only one release with 2 reviews, so no volume pattern supports mass-produced. Against: Developer states all AI content was manually reviewed, edited, and integrated, and only one game has been released, suggesting some human effort rather than volume output. |
