Adult oriented is still on Steam, and what has transpired is only targeting certain contexts, not all mature content in general.

It doesn't necessarily bother me that there's cartoon sex on Steam. I'm not outraged either way, but I agree with the sentiment.

Porn Games where only introduced to Steam in 2018 so it has not been around "forever" as some want to make us believe.

It probably was even a legit niche genre when it started with indie devs trying to carefully introduce spicier dating sims.

But nowadays copy & pasted hardcore "games" which all come from the same handfull of publishers clutter up the place.

And these publishers are now sending their minions to the forums to defend their $$$$$$$$ business model, thats all what these threads are about.

There's a reason why it's only been here since 2018.

This too. Are you guys not reading?

If only they'd bring back Greenlight where Valve would actually have to evaluate the game and code directly to make sure it didn't contain anything 'bad'.
That also slowed down the process so that this stuff wouldn't flood steam like it currently does.

gay&trans sex should be banned too then. No double standards or special treatment to anyone

Greenlight wasn't used for this. It was literally just a vote for game system where games that received enough votes, were allowed on Steam (minus those that didn't pass Valves criteria).

It was a horrible system, prone to abuse that left us without many games that could have been amazing.

"Could have been" doesn't cut it.

Quote to me part of policy 15 that says its about porn game and not all content that a 3rd party company will decide not "their" standard.

My guess is, they had reservations about adding it even in 2018 or they would have added it way way before then

Honestly, I'm surprised it backfired only now, almost 10 years after Valve allowed any kind of game on Steam.

The rules now don't allow things like attacking opponents with weapons either. It's not just pornography that's subject to removal. Punch someone and knock out a tooth, the credit card companies can demand to have the game removed.
