I've been making showcases of new native-Linux games on Steam for a few weeks now, and the quantity of releases has been very high these past two weeks. I'm already excluding games which disclose AI usage, but I still have strong suspicions about a few of the games this week 😕

I'm increasingly thinking that an AI disclosure like Steam has isn't sufficient, and we need explicit positive no-AI declarations.
A developer can always "forget" to disclose AI usage, but if they make a false claim that their product hasn't used genAI, that opens them up to legal consequences for mis-selling or fraud.

It's been a good few months since I last uploaded a gameplay vid to my channel, so I feel like it's started overflowing with Linux Native Game Showcases!
Fortunately, today I finally had enough energy to play something new - just in time for the end of Next Fest - so I took the demo of Catacomb for a couple of spins!
