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)

Let the people play what they want, even if it is slop! And the stealing/inspiring part - i get it, it is frustrating and not fair, but not the AI is the problem here, it's just a tool - the problem is with the copycat's reasoning (that is to make a quick buck and don't give a damn about broader consequences for the future). If the game is a shameless copy it already is prone to be copyright claimable (although i don't believe in legal batles, especially for small developers or not wealthy individuals that clearly are disadvantaged from the start), if it is not - let the Poeple decide. Of course it poses a threat of oversaturating the market - i don't care, it's not new - Steam has been oversaturated with non-AI-porn-game-slop for years now and nothing bad happened.

Allowing it is encouraging it. Allowing it on the platform means you can earn a non-zero amount of money by creating one, and then tank sales of the actual game while destroying the planet.

Youve also laid out exactly why steam should be taking action: indie devs who havent released their game yet likely dont have the money to fight in copyright court.
