Indie games are missing launch dates because Steam is backed up

Indie developers report unexpectedly long Steam review wait times that have caused some to miss planned launch dates, including Studio Daimon's Food Devils, submitted October 12th and still awaiting approval, and publisher 2 Left Thumbs, which missed its Wheel Make It launch by nearly two weeks. Valve says store page reviews typically take 3-5 business days, but developers suspect a review queue clogged by AI-generated content amid a sharp rise in game submissions.
