itch.io Deletes Terabytes of AI-Generated Games

Original: Itch.io Deletes 'Terabytes' of AI Slop in to Counter Surge in Game Uploads

Game marketplace itch.io has deleted terabytes of AI-generated content in a bid to counter a surge in game uploads. The purge targets low-effort, machine-made projects flooding the platform. Gamers and developers are debating whether the crackdown restores quality to the indie marketplace or risks sweeping up legitimate work alongside the so-called AI slop.

Why now: The mass deletion reflects growing backlash against AI-generated content flooding game storefronts.
