Why we used this label

The reference point is Valve's requirement that developers disclose AI-generated content in games sold on Steam, with much of each disclosure shown to players on the store page. Workman calls for Steam and other marketplaces to drop the label and says it no longer matters, a rejection of the requirement, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Minimized, because he says the label does not matter; it loses because he calls for removing it.
