Someone on twitter started compiling a list of the hit games
It's not complete yet, but the only common factor seem to be tags thus far (tho there also have been games like Ladykiller with these tags that have not been hit)
Why valve just can't give these devs are precise statement as to what's the reason is seriously beyond me.
It's diretide all over again.

Valvetime + happened overnight (in the US) + weekend + almost-certainly automated Takedown/Warning emails meaning actual people haven't looked at this yet.
Which is not to say Valve shouldn't have released a statement already, just that, if this were physical retail, the combination of the above (minus Valvetime) would make people less antsy. Businesses can be slow to respond, even to other business enquiries, in this kind of situation.
I'm expecting a response/statement Monday, maybe Tuesday.

It's cyberpunk and on PC. I neeeeeeedddddd it!

I don't understand how you can make a video review of a rhythm game without once playing some music from it
Ah yes, nothing enhances your serious dystopian world and brings out the horror elements like a stupid ass waifu MC.
After finishing BATTLETECH earlier, a bargin at $39.99 let alone from the amazon price mistake(?) I decided to try something from a recent bundle, Action Henk. Simple but fun runner but worryingly, after starting out with 50+ people on my friends list at each level by halfway through only Wok and Nabs remain! Doesn't bode well for it's longevity.
Crap, two levels after that, Wok gave up too!

Please, this is obviously a game about a lingerie mannequin coming to life
Pesonally speaking, I don't care. Motoko Kusanagi hot af, and didn't ruin Ghost in the Shell or any of it's cyberpunk/seriousness/philosophy ravings. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides, there might be an argument for making a purposefully attractive character and then submitting them to horror? Like if somebody considered it their waifu or whatever wouldn't they have a vested interest in her care?
Well, that said, are you basing such criticism only on her looks? If you have a problem with the style you could just say that.
Its one thing to be good looking and fit with the tone, atmosphere and idea of cyberpunk like Makoto and its another to have lifeless huge boobs mannequins walking in a cyberpunk setting. But hey, whatever tickles your pickle I guess. To me personally, thats the ugliest "thing" I've seen recently. Guess we're never going to have a great proper cyberpunk indie game.
Well, it's Runner, shitty music comes with the franchise.
Kusanagi is more or less generic hot badass lady, with the exception of her stealth scenes. If she had spent the entire movie in that look with her tits seemingly looking like they're about to announce "!liftoff!" like in that kickstarter, it would certainly undermine the rest of the plot.
Waifu was probably too charitable a word. The character looks more like just fapbait. She looks like that Haydee game character.
What else could I base it upon but her looks? The character to her right on the cover looks relatively normal on the Hot Lady To Protect scale. The MC's design is practially inhuman, and not in a "oh that works with being a cyberpunk game."
Observer is pretty good indie cyberpunk.
VA-11 HALL-A is excellent if you care for games with more reading than playing.
If I was home lookin' at my Steam library pretty sure I could list some more good cyberpunk indies, it's my favorite setting after-all.
Haven't played VA-11 HALL-A but yean I enjoyed Observer. Forgot it was indie for some reason. Theres also that Red Strings Club game that I still havent bought but I'd rather have something along the lines of Observer, visually speaking, non-pixelated.
Age of Wonders 4 looking good

"Sense - 不祥的预感: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story is a 2.5D game inspired by Clock Tower and Fatal Frame."
That's one of the best ways possible to get my attention.

What if the explaining factor is not listed among these columns? What if the list of games is not exhaustive? With enough effort, wouldn't it be possible to invent/cherry-pick a non-existent rationale which explains whichever correlation can be found in this dataset? Unless the rule is sufficiently simple, which is obviously not the case, this kind of reverse-engineering shouldn't provide the real reasons, but an irrealistically complex combination of rules.
What if it is based on the Steam Hub of each game? What if it is based on reports received for screenshots of these games?

I feel like that list is also a tad bit dishonest. I'm sure Lupiesoft might not list the ages of their characters but given this character is featured prominently in their news section for a kickstarter they are doing:
I'm not sure how much good faith that list is being made in.
Edit: NVM, the underage characters N mark was on Roommates.

Politically correct PR:
What really happened:
VN with anime-tag game that wasn't up to their religious beliefs/moral standards contained sexually explicit imagery.

If I had to guess, I'd say they probably reported hundreds more titles other than those who have reported getting notices from Valve, but so far only those games actually shipped with questionable assets in their steam version are affected.

It is possible that the NCSE is just posturing, but that organization also came up the last time Valve put the kibosh on anime titties:

https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2017/...s-steam-due-state-laws-says-mangagamer/43308/
Well, that org actually posted a "call to arms" and a pro forma email for activist followers to use on the 10th of May:

So, whilst, yes, organisations do take credit for things that benefit them which may not have actually been caused by them, it's not altogether impossible that they are responsible. But, really, we have no idea - we don't even know, for example, how many "this product is pornographic" reports it takes to trip the (what seems to be automated) Takedown Warning. And that's the thing which has started all this stress for developers.
It's at times like this that I wish the WaPo did more than just games reviews.

Jesus Christ, Paradox. Just take my money.
Just take it all.
At this point I think it's safe to say that Paradox is the best dev/publisher in the business.
yeah
And then the character design got rid of any attention that got
Gaben isn't something one considers when fighting the anime scourge, but this does put a smile on my face.
Are the Nekopara games going to be affected by this? Aside from Kindred Spirits, they are the only games of this type that I'm interested in, I want to know if I should pick the last episode up ASAP or not.
For real. I can get behind the pink haired one, but the girl with the giganormous boobs bursting out of her shirt while her nipples drill their way out and the stupid shorts? Heck, no.
It's also the 369th anniversary of the founding of the Commonwealth of England. :thinking:
I wonder if they will delist the Nekopara OVA as well as the games?
Whoever spent the $10k on the Kickstarter to get their Original the Character a speaking role in the anime is going to be pissed.
It totally wasn't me.

Not sure Nekopara titles will be affected. The fact that there is no official patch might be the reason. (Steam version is all ages. Adult version is a completely separate purchase you have to do, elsewhere)
I played the filthy smut version of Nekopara Vol 1 with a patch but then the devs blocked that one - so they could sell you their own filthy smut patch off their website.
Puncher the Ban-Girl will never now get to shovel down KFC and crack open a tinnie while insulting poms.
Have you seen this totally real and believable E3 leak
You heard it here first
2b or not 2b. That is the question.
