Hey @Steam can we please add a way to filter out games that use AI when browsing for Next Fest demos on the event page, instead of having to check every individual page for disclosures? Very disheartening when on stream I'm scrolling through, watching trailers, only to find out countless times mid trailer that the games outsourced creative elements to AI. It really killed my enjoyment for Next Fest, and I've pretty much lost all interest in browsing demos and games, and honestly interacting at all with similar events in the future if there is not a way to filter. I love browsing game demos and indie game events because I love checking out all the amazing things that devs have been working on and seeing all the creativity on display. I want to see what humans have crafted and made with love. Not what has been outsourced to bots for a quick buck or to save time. Can we please have a filter so people who don't care can see everything, and people who do care aren't forced to filter through COUNTLESS AI games? (According to SteamDB, 1698 of them....just in Next Fest...)

It's pretty rare for a non live-service/MMO title to go above 1.000 queries, but life sims are notoriously full of one or two-word segments that could mean a million different things based on context. But we did it anyway!

Definitely one of the hardest challenges our team's ever had to tackle, but also one that led to the funniest Discord convos

“The rise of artificial intelligence is the next industrial revolution” *audience boos* “Only a few years ago, AI was not a factor in our lives” *audience cheers*
Shocker. Graduates dont love AI as much as the boomers using it to replace their jobs.

Je découvre aujourd’hui la jaquette de la VHS japonaise du film Les Visiteurs, qui a la particularité de mettre en avant le doublage réalisé par le groupe comique « Dachou Club ». Du coup, j’ai encore plus envie de découvrir cette version. 🧐

54% - That's the percentage of translators (out of 235 respondents) who only receive minimal or no reference material whatsoever for the games they're working on. Remember that figure next time you read a translation that sounds off in context!

Whelp... imagine hitting sales for KCD2 and then firing people because of "finances" and "efficiency" They are rotten to the core with the AI shit. At this point I hope KCD3 never happens. reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/s/w…

I was recently helping @JustAnotherTL who was working on localizing a project originally written in @articydraft We came up with a tool that parses JSON exports, mimicking some of Articy's original features which helps with LQA/Localization. If you'd like a demo, DM me!

Every time you think this industry can't get any worse, they still find ways to dig even deeper: Digital Hearts is now offering MCQ-based translations, so you can just take your pick from a selection of AI-generated garbage TLs for each line.

As a reminder, Digital Hearts has localized dozens of blockbusters. They are also known for not crediting their translators in many cases. By staying silent, or by giving them your business, you keep encouraging these abhorrent practices.
