I almost spit out my coffee lol.
Also yay, this gives the creators a spotlight/legit platform to sell their stuff.
Most of the "sexual anime" games on Steam are from western devs lol.
A very US thing imo, anything sexual/nsfw is no no but gore/violence is a OK. Total opposite in Japan lol
My understanding is, the list of games where discussion is locked is for games containing racist/homophobic/sexist content and/or sexual depictions of underage characters (presumably by US law, since it's a US based site). You can check the list yourself, it should be in the FAQ.
Provided this discussion remains focused on Steam's policies and new approach of adult content, I don't see the issue with this thread existing.
Well, good?!?
Generally allowing adult content of sexual nature should be done. Those who have a problem with it but don't mind the often ultraviolent games are somewhat ridiculous.
Now, that doesn't mean that individual games (including this one perhaps) can't have questionable or downright illegal content that should get them banned (maybe even sued, depending on circumstances) and I don't doubt that many such porn games exist and a few will try to get on their.
In principle, though, I don't have a problem with this.
Mostly, anyway. One has to admit that games are already full of sexualization (or objectification) that one can easily deem 'damaging' to society in some aspects and porn is often just the worse in that regard. Would a potentially much broader, easy access to games that might be like that be an issue? Perhaps? On the other hand, half of the internet is already easily accessible porn anyway, so how much of an impact could this really have at large?

After Hatred, i knew Valve would eventually do this, they are a private company so they can pretty much get away with it, i mean that quite literally, they don't have public share holders to answer to like say EA do if EA decided to put this stuff on Origin.
This is really great news we no longer have to tap dance around on what is and isn't allowed on steam this should also lead to a better experience for users who buy this type of content, before you had to get a patch to restore content and with this change that should no longer be necessary.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Valve will not be hosting child porn.
The people depicted in the images in the op look like children to me.
They look like bog standard generic anime faces with bodies covered in fog monster.
And suddenly millions of people on steam deactivate the feature to show your friends what you're playing.
That's implied violence, not explicit.
They look really young to me, and the full game won't be censored.
I mean, does it really matter? I'm not an "anti-porn type" by any measure, but I don't think a character bio should be enough to dispel worries of sexualization of children.
Getting rid of this long-term stance in gaming is what makes this such a good step IMHO.
Both extreme violence and explicit sex should be filtering options, both should be disabled by default, and neither should prevent a game from being sold to adults who want it.
We are basically there now.
Personally no this is more a win for VNs at least in my opinion, a lot of the well regarded stories have some NSFW content in them so rather than censor them or ban them outright I can get the original version with all the content left in tack.
I'm not a huge fan of the NSFW content but I would rather it be in the game with a option to turn it off then it be gutted from the game with no way to get it back for those who want it.
Well if you're satisfied with concluding that Valve is hosting illegal content based on the appearance of trash bin style anime faces, go for it, I'm not going up to bat for this game, but that just doesn't make sense.
Thats terrifying.
I will not be joining FunnyMama to be a Funker.
While the game in the OP is not something I have interest in, due to its art style and the visual age of the "dragons", if people want this kind of game at least now they have a legitimate place to buy it.
Im curious more about what other types of games this might lead to in the future that arent just hentai.

OP
OP
yeah the youngest one is a high schooler who just turned 18 going by that
I can't stop laughing xD
Not too interested but I have no problem with them. More freedom for the developers.
So all you guys screaming "CHILD PORN!" "THEY LOOK 12!" "HURR DURR BET THEY ARE DRAGONS!" how many of y'all have seen 12 year olds with big ass huge honkin knockers?
Alright, this looks a bit more acceptable than the image in the OP. I do hope there's a limit to the shit Valve will allow, though. Will be interesting to follow.
I guess I don't to sleep in the next...ever. That's horrifying lol.
