Valve admits Steam has an AI slop and cloning problem, but says 'we don't want to be gatekeepers telling developers which tools they should or shouldn't use' (www.pcgamer.com)

Steam could at least allow people to vote on whether some games are complete clone garbage or not

This sounds like a version of the old "green light" system which people apparently hated. I didn't love it, but I think opening the doors to every shitty thrown together app was already a disaster before slop made the issue so much worse. I think opening the doors to everything probably made them a bunch of money so there is no way we'll see them shut it again unless they have to.
