The problem

A Reddit analysis of Steam disclosures found 49.9% of new games disclosed AI use in October, up from 1.4% in January 2024, while Valve sets no limit and games with AI disclosures drew fewer positive reviews on average.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2469 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
