Tim Sweeney says Epic Games Store is open to devs using generative AI

Sounds like "Steam doesn't allow X? We will allow X just to have you because we are so desperate for revenue"
- I mean you aren't wrong, Epic did the same exact thing when Valve said no NFT bullshit on their market.
  
  Yup. That seems to be a part of their business model (doing anything Steam won't do). The problem is when those calls by Valve are for issues that touch on ethics.
  
  It's why I won't even install their launcher. I don't care how many games are free on Epic. I can't support that kind thing.
Wasn't one of the main selling points for the EGS that there would be strict quality control so only "good games" would be on this store? And now it will be filled to the brim with the worst shovelware anyone has ever seen.

That is, if this will actually happen. I feel like Sweeney found a couple of seconds away from Epic's lawyers and is talking out of his ass
Allowing games that use AI is one thing. But in case of lawsuits, will they defend those devs' right to keep their games published?
