Indie dev openly discloses AI-made game on Steam — and still nets $200K

An indie developer didn't hide that his game was made with AI, openly disclosing it on Steam — and still earned about $200K. AIandDesign notes that when a dev is this upfront, reviews complaining merely about AI usage likely qualify as abuse eligible for removal. The case suggests consumer backlash against AI-generated content may be overstated, and transparency can be a viable strategy.
