Coloring Book for Adults 2 - Family Edition

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop][b]Warning: AI Slop[/b][/url] This software application is partially or completely made with talentless, soulless AI generated content.[/quote] "Coloring Book for Adults 2 - Family Edition" is not a complete product. It's an advertisement/demo, and you have to pay more money through DLC to actually unlock the software. What do you get if you let the deceptive and shady marketing win and pay the DLC toll to unlock the software? You don't get a game, that's for sure, because this is not a game. Instead, it's a colouring book made up of AI slop images. Obviously clicking around to "paint" an AI slop image is not the same thing as playing a game. And it's AI slop. This is disgusting and should never have been published on Steam. It's not a game. It's not even genuinely made... they just stole a colouring book mobile app template and populated it with AI slop. And they now want $13 for polluting Steam with this garbage.. But remember... you don't get the full game unless you pay up.The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $13 USD to unlock content needed for the full game, and I don't recommend you do that either. On pricing and value for gamers, this AI slop isn't really free as you're expected to pay up $13 USD to unlock all the AI slop, so this product should not be considered completely unlocked until you empty your wallet for the developer. This is misleading and predatory pricing on a product falsely marketed as "free". As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Even after that, this is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out a $13 USD "donation" DLC for this as you're expected to buy extra DLC from Steam to "support" the developer... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at less than 100 concurrent players, they couldn't even break three figures, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it.

They're all written in Chinese or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the product launched on Steam, despite the woefully low quality of this AI slop. The "Positive" review score on this should be disregarded due to this blatant, unethical review manipulation. This is done to deceive and scam gamers into paying for a bad product. Due to the 2024 FTC ruling (16 CFR Part 465), these fake reviews are a violation of US Federal Law.[/quote] Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
