Indie game website itch.io expands its AI disclosure filter as 'AI slop' continues to overwhelm Steam and other storefronts

Itch mass deletes ‘AI slop’, lets users filter out any AI assisted games
Itch.io's updated filters let users exclude games with generative AI disclosures from search results, following reports of 'AI slop' overwhelming platforms. The change was announced on its BlueSky account, adding a "No AI" option to the search page.
The platform also deleted "a couple terabytes of AI slop" earlier this month, citing terms of service violations. This follows a doubling of daily game uploads on itch.io, though downloads have not kept pace with the increased supply.
