One in five new Steam games uses AI, lowering development barrier but raising trust hurdle

AI is spreading across game development, lowering production barriers, but user backlash when AI use is revealed is creating new hurdles around disclosure, review and trust, an analysis said. SteamDB data showed 1,704 of 8,700 titles in Steam Next Fest carried a generative AI tag. Korean game companies are adopting generative AI widely, including across entire firms. Still, disputes over AI use and job insecurity concerns are growing.

Game industry expands dividends, share cancellations, seeking to lift \'relatively neglected\' stocks

Major South Korean game companies are strengthening shareholder return policies by introducing dividends or expanding share cancellations. The moves come as the KOSPI has climbed sharply over the past year and entered record territory, while game stocks have been relatively left behind. Companies including Krafton, Netmarble, Pearl Abyss and Webzen outlined payouts, buybacks and cancellation plans. The shift is also linked to small-shareholder pressure and discussions on corporate value-up policies.
