Itch.io Reveals Just How Much AI Slop Is Flooding Gaming Storefronts

A recent social media post by itch.io revealed some new data highlighting just how bad the situation has become. As a gaming website and storefront, itch.io is positioned to be a very indie-friendly platform where almost anyone can sell or distribute the games they are working on.
