Doesn't it still cost $100 or so to publish a game? Its not a huge amount but how is it not deterring more slop?!

People are still in the "gold rush" phase of thinking their AI slop game will make it big and give them their money back, and more.

The goal of that fee as a rate limiter is to prevent one developer from releasing hundreds of "games", not to prevent thousands of developers from each releasing one.

100 dollars to see your "game" on Steam is a minimal barrier, especially if you have the money to be AI-generating art for games.
