They've had others pulled down in the past without warning. This one is in addition to some girl's academy visual novel that got pulled just a couple months ago.

Well, yeah. The thirteen year old just did a flying tackle from a horse. Surely that's cool enough to excuse his sexual debauchery?

An article on the issue and talks about the vague emails received. Valve didn't source the complaint, only that "one was received", and naturally nothing else was said.

It's all coming from this group.

Considering the games mentioned there that's probably not the source of it, given that those aren't the games being targeted (also wow at the "video games are for kids!" justification).

Maybe Valve just decided that being seen as an outlet for porn-y anime games just didn't really jive with the reputation they want for their platform.

On that very same page you can see the "PROOF" part. They list all of the games being called out.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
I would take the NCSE's claims of responsibility with a grain of salt. While it's possible that their astroturfed complaint campaign has gotten valve to actually enforce their guidelines somehow, I spent some time poking at the organization and like a lot of "modern morality" pressure groups, they have a history of claiming responsibility for things they don't do.

The article is mostly direct quotes from developers along with links to tweets and public statements they're made, so unless you think the devs themselves are all making stuff up, I'm not sure where trust factors in.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.


Most sex scenes in games are bad because they're obviously fan service and not really necessary to develop the plot or character relations. Even if they were though they're always directed like cheap erotic movies with horrific acting, they show too much and go on for too long so any merit a scene like that could have is thrown out the window because of embarassing execution.

The only good sex scene I can think of is in Witcher 3's Heart of Stone and only happens when you act against the game's instructions in a specific way and the result ruins the fan-servicy aspect of it in a pretty hilarious way and adds to the overall experience thanks to it. You need to give Geralt's love interest wine instead of the correct gift that she's expecting from him and she'll start vomiting all over him during sex which is a great end to the entire questline.

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?

It's valve, they're just doing the least effort possible to try and fix a perceived problem with their platform, but because the problem is fundamentally that they put no effort into maintaining it, it's not actually a fix.

According to the dev on twitter, it's only a dollar because Valve wouldn't let them make it free.
