0:00Player, the next indie gem you go hunting for could be buried under a pile of AI-generated filler. The indie game store itch.io is experiencing an influx of AI-generated content being uploaded to its platform. The store is implementing measures to address and combat the proliferation of this content. Look, "we're implementing measures" is the easiest sentence in the industry to write. Measures only matter if they work. A store lives on discovery, and if real devs get buried under filler, you lose first.

0:34I'm skeptical until search feels human again. So here's your move. Watch how itch.io rolls those measures out, and before you download, look for real footage or devlogs on the page. Support the makers who show their work. Frame Perfect is live at WinGamingGear, and entries close November 9th at 04:59 UTC. Real skill beats generated filler, so show me the clutch you pulled yourself. Every new official trailer is at Global Gaming Guild dot com slash trailers, within the hour.
