Are those artwork stored as regular files in your game content (e.g. PNG) or embedded in the game? If the former, I wonder if there’s some way to integrate with Plex to autocrawl from steam/game folder, then index based on a public game metadata source (which wouldn’t legally be able to host the content, but metadata is fine right?)

NDAs are an affront to human creativity - and the polar fucking opposite of what copyright is for.

Copyright explicitly exists to incentivize new works, for us. It’s an opportunity to make money. The modern concept of owning an idea is a perversion and a failure of that intent. Especially when it’s not the actual fucking artists in control!

Kiana Mai recently remarked “the thing I’m most proud of is NDA and will likely never see the light of day, ha ha.” I want to tell her: no, not haha. That’s horrible. It is a crime and you are a victim. Not “the victim,” because there must be a whole goddamn team of you, and you’ve been robbed even if you were paid. Sadly relevant word: if.
