Valve may be building SteamGPT for Steam Support

Noo valve dont do it. There is nothing to gain and so much to lose

• I’m tired of this, grandpa!
• Why are we still here?
• Not like this

Well…just in case here are some alternatives cause I certainly can’t predict what will come of this decision.

Alternatives

• Itch.io
• GOG
• GameJolt

I’m genuinely really tired of AI being shoved into everything.

At this point if anyone wants whatever AI/LLMs provide, you do you; I’m not gonna stop you.

I’m just gonna move on and continue to adapt cause it really seems like it’ll be shoved into anything, (especially things closest to proprietary products/services); without rhyme or reason until morale improves or the bubble collapses.

They can’t resist the siren song.

I can only hope Valve uses Free Software LLMs if they go that route. Otherwise, forget about it.

I almost forgot that Steam had a need for support.

In the ~two decades I’ve been using steam, I’ve only contacted support once, to refund a PS2-era PoP, which I bought many months prior, and only spent 20 minutes unsuccessfully trying to get it running on Windows 11.

I wonder how much more often the average user contacts support than me (which is about 0.00013 times a day)

Seems like they could be experimenting with an LLM to improve server-side anti-cheat.
