Yeah... It's not indie golden age.

I guarantee you less than 1,000 of those were made by actual indie developers.

I'd more than willingly bet the rest are vibe-coded slop or unity asset-flips designed to look just enough like an actual game that you buy it and hopefully never bother to refund it.

Steam has had this problem for years, and AI slop has only exacerbated it.
