Steam Approval Delays Disrupt Indie Game Launches

A report says Steam reviews may take up to 12 business days, with developers describing missed launch dates and disrupted promotion or finances. Separately, itch.io says it removed a couple terabytes of AI-generated uploads under a policy that allows disclosed AI use that adds value. Do not treat AI uploads as the confirmed cause of Steam’s delays; seek Valve clarification or further corroboration.
