After our Steam publisher @MangaGamer met with Valve in person, they were told that ecchi content was fine on steam.

Oh jeeze there's a lot to unpack from this quote I found about that Mutiny!! game, from a non-steam version.

So I downloaded the game and when i got to the 1st sex scene I noticed that the dog girl had a normal penis I was under the assumption that the girls had animal penises, did I do something wrong if so can someone help me?

I think it's more that Witcher isn't completely about sex and there's no genetalia shown.

Which apparently is also the case for a few of the games this ban is targetting?

Nudity has been ok on steam since like... I think mass effect had a couple scenes?

They just don't want to sell straight up porn anymore it seems. I imagine paypal started yelling at someone at valve.

No, that doesn't make sense, because Ladykiller in a Bind hasn't gotten taken down at all, and it's very, very porny.

Some/most of them do have official nude patches that you have to get from the dev's site. It's GTA hot coffee all over again.

Kindred Spirits on the Roof is being targeted and, from what I've read, is no worse than Mass Effect. And it was put up uncensored with approval from Valve.

Christine Love has also confirmed that she's heard nothing regarding Ladykiller in a Bind being pulled which is just as explicit than many of these and also completely uncensored.

Yeah, as much as I hate these anime porn games, there's a legitimate market of dog-cock lovers for it.

Out here, everything hurts.





It can't just be nudity, because Conan Exiles has full nudity and it's pretty clear it does since it's right in the character creation part of the game (choose your own endowment!).

I know nothing about the games getting the notices, but sounds like it's more about the sexual content other than nudity?

I'm guessing games already rated by ESBR are exempt from whatever this change stems from.

Best I can tell is that it's context. And Valve knows it when they see it except when they don't.

It seems like Valve is thinking, "Any game designed with graphic sex as the main focus is forbidden." That would make sense for games like Mass Effect and The Witcher, since the point of those isn't to jerk it raw to sweet alien/monster sexin'. As for Ladykiller, it's possible they're still hitting more visible devs, first. Huniepop seems like it would be the most obvious target given their...size, since they're big enough that even non-gamers might have heard of them.

Valve will never remove anything from Steam unless it stands at risk of a lawsuit, so asset flips and other poo poo that makes them $100 a pop and a percentage on sales will never go away.

Also this. Can't, "Know it when I see it," when you make it a point to look the other way.

Me llamo Sarah Brandolino, the eighth Castilian of this magnificent marriage.
I doubt it's going to last, it's too spontaneous. There are two theories right now as to why only certain games are being targeted and not others for the exact same content:

1) Someone or some people is/are carpet bombing reports on specific games. This idea comes from a reddit thread on the matter where someone linked a banned user in one game's steam forum saying "They'll get all the anime porn taken down, just wait".

2) Random laws in random states and a whole lot of nothing concrete.

Doubt Valve will comment, but the games being taken down have been up for years - in some cases - and claim to have been cleared by VALVe step by step. It ultimately doesn't matter because Blizzard's cock-up over Overwatch porn some years ago proved you can't win a fight against internet smut. Also, see the fact this quality title still exists on steam:

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

The notifications are only through e-mail. It just so happens they hit some more popular long running ones who decided to disclose the information. For others they'll just vanish.
