Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney opposes Steam’s “Made with AI” label for games, arguing AI involvement is inevitable in future development and such tags are unnecessary outside art and licensing contexts. He emphasizes that mandatory AI disclosures for games are impractical and not meaningful for consumers.
This is literally what the phrase “the customer is always right” is about.
If you’re a company that sells red widgets, but the customers want blue widgets, then you should sell blue widgets or perish.
The customers have made it clear they want a made with AI label. Even if Tim is right(unlikely) and all future development will use AI, it just means that all games will have the tag. If the customers want it, it should be there.
