This article isn't worth taking seriously, and written by someone with a rampant hate-boner for Steam.
"Sex sells" is a golden rule that still applies here, so it really shouldn't be a surprise that lewd games are selling well. Steam's content rules changing to permit adult content is frankly an overall positive, I'd argue, and it's a huge step towards legitimizing adult games as far as the industry is concerned, as storefronts have traditionally refused to stock X-rated games and the console manufacturers have refused to approve them (albeit for understandable reasons for a big chunk of the industry's history, what with moral panics and such, and video games having been seen as a toy for kids for years, and some people still think of them as such). But Steam could actually pave the way towards more adult content for folks who want it - I can see certain games getting X-rated content exclusively on PC, possibly as separate free DLC.
If Mortal Kombat can get away with its gore porn, I say let the regular porn have its place alongside it. Adult content
can bring more to the table than just mindless fap material.
Don't the games have to be censored on Steam? Like they don't actually show anything?
Nope, that got changed a while back after a huge kerfuffle involving several visual novels being nearly delisted - as long as the content isn't
illegal, the games are appropriately marked as adult and the type of content is clearly disclosed on the game's store page, adult games can be as raunchy as they want now on Steam.
