Steam gets big ups for promoting the human artists behind its latest spring sale graphics: 'Thank you for using real artists and not slop'

It’s easy to take for granted the cute little drawings and animations that introduce each themed Steam sale. In an age where it’s hard enough getting consistent AI use disclosure on our digital storefronts, it’s nice to see something clearly handcrafted—even if it beckons me to blow my whole paycheck. If you’ve been following Steam on X, you even know who to thank.

“The lovely art for this sale was created by @thetiffopotamus, with animations by @thanhuki,” wrote Steam on X. “Check out their work with Points Shop items, and by going through your Discovery Queue for stickers.”
