The writer supports disclosure and challenges Sweeney's distinction between consumers and business customers.

The reference point is Steam's AI disclosure labels, the policy Sweeney criticizes. On this case, statements supporting the labels are marked as defending them and statements rejecting them as condemning them. Squires-Hand argues that game buyers deserve the same choice Sweeney accepts for asset buyers, which supports the labels.
