in your argument (which is pretty much just bait anyway) where do you draw the line to what is allowed and what is not?
and who should be in charge to decide?
random orgs or actual laws?
You're wrong right from the start. 18+ is adult, and 84% of Steam users are aged 20 to 49 as of 2024.
This.
If anything, kicking everyone under 18 to a "kiddie" Steam would be better if we start changing something. OP can go there as well.
Long Answer: Yes, they do.
Issue is the potential for games with nudity or adult situations being lumped in with them by overly zealous individuals.
For example certainly small toxic groups of self identified Christians have been trying to heavily censor all forms of media for decades.
according to what OP said, no adult game should be allowed on steam. so actually yes. thy DO belong on steam!
and btw this is entirely another issue: a 3rd party payment processor can tell steam what to allow and what to not allow. don't you find this disturbing?!
I think having a button to toggle NSFW games from being shown should be enough, and if people want to buy theses kind of games let them. Most of them are crappy and cheaply made, but people should have a right to choose for themselves, or at least Valve should be able to choose without being pressured by a non-government entity.
same as every other genre or type of game, dont like visual novels dont buy them, dont like puzzle games dont buy them, dont like violence in you games dont buy them.
steam is a marketplace, there are parental controls for said market place, if something is mis-tagged either by purpose or accident you can report to help correct it.
busy body monopolystic tactics done by visa mastercard is just showing what scum they are, along with those that suppport them.
"think of the children" i hear you bellow, i have heard this all my life from both "sides" of the isle, never have i once seen these "champions" of child morality picket demo straight outside of a cartel flesh peddlers house, of the porn king empire studios, of hollywood studios casting couches. all they do is go on some sort of moral crusade against fiction instead of reality. until they show more effort into fixing reality thats more than a "give a like for thoughts and prayers on my facebook post" i will consider them limp wristed holier than-though idiots along with all those that preach along side of them.
so again, I am getting sick of asking people to live and let live when they keep deficating on my living room floor every time i see them. you dont like sex games on steam congradulations and slow clap to you, like everyone else on this platform you have a prefrence for the games you like to play, so play them and allow others to play the games that they want and pay for the play. you arnt forced to play smut games. your concern trolling about player choice shows that you are of the same character as other extremists.
On user experience level... I do think Steam should have better filters. One player enjoys "Cute anime girls in bikinis" doesn't mean they would enjoy "MILF R*pe Simulator."
