More indie developers say they've been forced to delay the impending release of their games as a result of Steam's growing approvals backlog - a relatively recent problem that's believed to stem from an influx of AI slop on the platform.
Earlier this month, developers began complaining about delays to Valve's approval process, which was extending the time it took to get their games published on Steam. Valve responded, explaining approval times could now take up to 12 days, due to the number of submissions it was having to re-review. One week on, the situation doesn't seem to have improved.
