  Nearly all games use assets, would be pointless.

    Asset flips refers to low quality project that use all store-bought assets without providing any uniqueness whatsoever on gameplay.

      Problem is there are legitimately good games that do this, usually ones that focus exclusively on writing but still. At that point it’s better to let the reviews handle it.

        I said “low quality project”, that means games with “focus exclusively on writing” are not belongs to this category.

        Huge chunk of RPG Maker games are using generic reusable assets provided by RPG Maker yet still cool af, as they focus on writings.

      yes, but how do we define an asset flip? whatever definition is used will be something avoided by scummy developers or will apply to all games on steam.

    Okay, so, complex projects having a small part you didn’t make doesn’t matter?

      it’s not that it doesn’t matter at all but what problem does it solve if nearly every game on steam has it? It wouldn’t even help identify actual asset flips.

        Okay, so, every game on Steam having some generated asset wouldn’t matter?
