Itch.io has launched an aggressive crackdown, deleting terabytes of AI-generated “slop” to combat a massive surge in low-effort bot uploads. These automated submissions were burying genuine indie games, threatening the platform’s integrity. By targeting non-functional, template-based content, Itch.io is prioritizing playable mechanics over synthetic noise. This bold move protects discoverability, ensuring that real developers remain visible in a cleaner, human-focused marketplace.
