It cannot replace the steps where a platform, an ad network, or a payment processor has to accept legal responsibility: account creation, terms acceptance, submitting to moderation, and payout setup. Those remain manual or run through the platform&#8217;s own automated checks, not yours.<\/p>\n<p>A practical split: use AI while building (asset generation, boilerplate code via engine scripting APIs, copy for your listing), then hand off the actual publishing to a human-run or platform-run process. Uploading through <a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/developers\">developer.playgama.com<\/a> follows this pattern: you submit the build yourself, the team tests it and gives feedback within 24 hours, and only then is it published on playgama.com and distributed to partner portals.<\/p>\n<h2>Where does the line usually fall?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>AI-friendly:<\/b> concept art, music stems, dialogue trees, procedural levels, code completion in your engine, translating store text into other languages.<\/li>\n<li><b>Manual\/platform-controlled:<\/b> account verification, accepting a portal&#8217;s terms, ad network approval (e.g. AdSense-style applications), age-rating and content review, payout setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other places that publish, distribute, or host web games include <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.poki.com\/\">Poki<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.crazygames.com\/\">CrazyGames<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamedistribution.com\/\">GameDistribution<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/itch.io\/docs\/creators\/faq\">itch.io<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/\">playgama.com<\/a>.
