Whatever amount Steam is making from porn games they could definitely make a lot more if they had some kind of "shadow purchase" option where a game doesn't show up in your activity in any way but without requiring you to full-on appear offline.

That was only the case for like a year or so, when steam still technically banned porn but just didn't care enough to moderate it.
As you've probably seen in this thread, there's loads of full-on porn games now that don't require an outside patch.

Nah. Steam followed a don't-ask-don't-tell kinda thing for a while though. You couldn't link the nude patch on the actual store page, but you could sticky a link to your nude-patch website in the discussion forums just fine. Then for a few months they banned the forum thing too... but soon afterwards they just said "gently caress it porn games are allowed on steam now" and now the anime titties can come pre-installed.

My assumption is anyone who cares enough probably has an alternate account that exists just for porn games.

I'm pretty sure you can tell Steam not to share when and what you are playing. It's still Steam, so whether or not it works is a different thing.

This exactly. If someone really wants to play the anime tiddies game on Steam but doesn't want it on their main account or their friends to know it is trivial to create a different account for such purpose. If that's too much, a lot of the games have alternative options such as Patreon or itch if they are for whatever reason opposed to making a new Steam account.

However it seems that many people don't care judging by the feed notification I had earlier this week of someone purchasing a futa restaurant simulation or something.

One would think nude patches would still be a thing because Steam is not the entire universe, so there are still gonna be lots of platforms/distributors that refuse to sell porn (and/or can't because horny is illegal in their country) so there would still be a market for censored technically non-smut, plus developers might try to fly under the radar to avoid having their game tagged as [definitely porn] for a wide variety of reasons which mysteriously always translate into "money"


Also if someone wants to gameboob but is too embarrassed by the prospect of their mom/coworkers/etc knowing they've got porn games in their library, there's skyrim/slab/etc. :v:

You can still see steam friends' libraries though.
There's even a neat checkbox for "filter to games you both own" which is kinda useful for picking a game to play together... but annoyingly you can't filter out singleplayer games.

It is an overt porn game. There may or may not be some restaurant simulation as well, but it's unambiguously full porn baby!

Did they though? I remember after the whole internet was making fun of it for being hot garbage, the creator went on a podcast and had a meltdown. Shortly after, this started making the rounds.

It's doubly funny since Disco Elysium came out a few months later. It had an unlikable piece of poo poo main character on a redemption arc, but a million times better written, and everyone loved it.

I mean from the sweeping changes he (they? I think it's a team of two brothers, right?) MUST have realized the game needed fixing. You don't revamp your game that greatly this long after release unless you know it's broken and/or unfinished.

Again, this still looks like poo poo, though. YIIK's aesthetic is repellant, and more Alex is not at all a good thing.
