Meanwhile, there are “all-ages” anime visual-novel games on steam with official patches hosted by the developers off-site which turn them into full-on pornos - which is the version of the game they are actually trying to sell and what people are buying it for.
And not a peep from Valve on that because it’s off-site.
Must be very frustrating to developers of mainline games that by being honest and engaging with valve openly, they face far more hassle than groups who designed their game specifically to circumvent the rules.
Steam is OK with porn games. Banks are not. Banks have the power. Steam has to not get debanked.
I fully expect to have to download a patch from the dev when buying a porn game because of the censorship. If its not on Steam or a few other trusted platforms I won’t bother paying.
The user adding the “optional” content after purchase make it not Steams problem while getting past bank censorship.
