They really should have done what i was thinking it could have eventually have been a thing: have a separate Adults Only section in the store that can only be unlocked by presenting some sort of valid ID. Purchases in this store part of the store would disable the use of payment processors that are against porn.

I mean i'd just take a option anyone could check to unlock it, but that's not very realistic. A ID check for the unlock would be a decent compromise. Better than just removing games, at least.
Also not all countries are as terrible as the US to get a ID either.
I'm not American, so I wouldn't know.
I also wouldn't know what it's like or what the problems are in every other country Valve does business in.
I also don't know what type of implications there are for supporting ID issuances that exist in every other country. I also don't know what political stances could be interpreted by supporting ID issuances that may or may not exist in every other country.
I mean, if you want worms...
I have finished Super Lucky's Tale, which is on the Microsoft Store (the store which asks you to reinstall Windows in order to install a game if you ever uninstall the store application). The game is mostly aimed at kids, or people who have a bit of nostalgia from the old days of 3D platformers, although the final boss is not a piece of cake.
The game engine is nice, I like how you can zoom-in in almost situations, and the variety of gameplay (3D, 2.5D, oblique perspective, etc.). I read that it is a sequel of a VR game with the same protagonist, so this might be the reason why.
It is like a little Mario for people who do not own Nintendo hardware. The inspiration for level design in my opinion mostly comes from Crash Bandicoot though. Jumping feels nice. The little fox can dig holes and move underground. It is fun and creative. You never feel truly lost.

^^^ I have a Game Pass trial and was considering trying that one out. I feel like it's been a WHILE since I've played a platformer like this.
How long did it take to finish?
How long did it take to finish?
Took me 8h. Although I might have left it open, so might be less. I think I did all non-DLC levels (DLC isn't included in gamepass)
If I trust the Xbox app, 4h24 to collect 72 clovers, which is the minimum required to face the final boss, and beat the boss.
Edit: It looks like I'm super fast, or the Xbox app cannot measure time properly.

is there a possibility to check if a game was in any kind of a bundle in the hidden gems list?
I am curious if bundling affects the user rating heavily. I would think, that bundling would drive the rating down because you have users that didn't buy the game on their own.
Most niche games that are competent/good have a very good rating because the users who buy those games know what they get into and get not a lot of blind buyers who don't like the game after they tried it, bringing the score down.

Right now, there is none. If I want to check, I can click on a link to the store, and check whether a game has been bundled with the Enhanced Steam browser addon.
If there is an API, or if isthereanydeal.com allows scraping their website, I could automate the process and see the results.
That being said, the rating of a game is not directly the ratio of positive reviews, and:
- having a slightly worse ratio of positive reviews yet with a ton more reviews could lead to a higher quality measure, because the confidence interval becomes narrower.
- the list of hidden gems also factors in a measure of the popularity of a game, so a bundled "hidden gem" should become less "hidden" and less likely to appear near the top of this ranking.
I don't know when it will be officially available. There are still frequent updates. However, if you want to try it, you can follow the procedure here:

Horizon Chase Turbo is neat y'all, it's a game even JaseC would like: It has collectables! Granted you may end up replaying a stage to either get all collectables or be 1st place to get more points to unlock stuff but its soundtrack is nice and the races are mostly fun IMO....just make sure to never ever ever bump into other cars
Also the track that plays when you are first place is just badass...but I can't find it anywhere online :V

They're different library entries, though most likely buying either will grant access to both.
Yeah, it looks so damn good. But why is there no pre-order yet? Any word on the price?
Is that on publishers not caring, or does have something to do with store policy? Because it's strange how you can preorder almost any big title on GMG and co. but very often, on the Steam store page it just says "Release Spring 2019" (or similar) until a month or so before release.
Actually supposedly you make more money with no preorders and a launch discount.
I see. That's a fair price but I'll wait for the Steam pricing first.
But I've been pre-ordering games on Steam left and right all these years.
Do you mean for certain publishers only?
That is why I said the more expensive choice =p
It isn't a forced thing. Its more of a suggestion.
As I said they say no preorder and launch discount typically gets more money - especially for the non big games.
Disco is at the top of my Steam Wishlist and is fast becoming my most anticipated release of the year so far.
Anyone know a better deal than 29.99 for SF 30th Collection on GMG?

I don't think Valve wants to sell porn. But I totally agree that they should have a seperate section for games like HuniePop etc. But then comes the question, should Witcher and GTA be in there?
Wait
wait
wait
Is
Is that name a reference to that one Swery game, Dark Dreams Don't Die? Or am I missing a reference here?
Cause that would be one bizarre reference
Something that just occurred to me with the Steam/anime titties issue - this pressure would most likely happen from multiple places, in the end. For example
https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-uk-will-block-online-porn-from-april-heres-what-we-know.25775/
So how would Valve react to this? A short-term solution would be to remove everything porn/nudity, but I think long-term they've got to be thinking about an AO section of Steam.

They've been talking about it on Twitter.
They are also working with other devs to make a big AO Itch.io bundle
Would be really cool if they don't do what they did last year
Can't wait for the DLC.
Also, I really hope that System Shock 3 when it releases (2020+) gives me magical feeling of playing Prey. I've given up on the remake, I really hope Otherside don't fall into the ambition trap.
Worried about this bit;
their liberal use of slurs definitely made me feel like I was back in high school, though personally, that's not a feeling I'm keen to recapture.
Curious what the mean and how off putting this aspect really is.
