Quoting: GustyGhostsudo apt --purge remove steam

If it's true that the reason is they have been distributing content that they now have learned is sexualizing minors, I'm sure they would prefer to loose a little business than loose millions of dollars in a lawsuit and the incredible PR smear campaign that it would bring against their name & brand.

Am I correct in noticing that the Shakira series is not under threat of removal? If so, I would say the developers under question have deliberately created content with the intent of passing it off as something it's not -- in their own words they say that the girls in the content in question are 30-years-old when they look 12 - 15 at most.

I also notice that they are hiding behind trending activism by identifying themselves as a "queer studio", as if they are the victims of some incredible injustice and aren't using commonly-validated underage cartoons with the intent of profit. It's a racket for sure.

I think I can finally make some sense of this. I think that sexuality is not the thing that distinguishes the game for removal.

According to other articles on the web, some of the images in the game, though cartoon have girls that appear to be underage. Underage sex, consensual or not is in most places still illegal.

I think Valve is afraid to come out and say it outright.

As of right now, we’re sort of left clutching straws with this one. Steam’s rules and regulations on sexual content are confusing at the best of times, and there are plenty of games like The Witcher 3 which seem to get by with some fairly overt sexual content. As a best guess, it may be that these affected games feature content which could be interpreted as sexualising minors.

There’s a common theme of young looking girls that runs through these games on Steam, including some dressed as schoolgirls, and there’s certainly an argument to be made that these games are depicting young people in a sexual manner. The question though, is just how young are they meant to be? The creators can claim they're thirty years old and there's not really any way for Valve to disprove this.

Quoting: Guest

I will probably annoy someone with this, but reading that article made me literally say "what the fuck". What a bunch of drivel.

I hope you do, such people deserve to be offended.

Attempting to manipulate others and control what they can and cannot say is a form of terrorism. Using peer pressure, the police state, religion and other pressures as a weapon which furthers a person's public or private agenda.

Most often these illusive manipulations are the work of sociopaths spinning webs to try to secretly sway public opinion against their enemies under the guise of religiously backed morality.

These two examples of AAA top selling games including sexual content are validation that Valve removing this content on that basis is absurd.

Im interested in their canonical plan with this.

Unless its just throwing darts blindfolded to see where they have success and then persuing the opportunity.

Maybe Valve will pump money into wine and stream all pc games from Linux to Androids and iPads locally XD

Sounds like people who have backed projects before are scared and sensative.

Growing the dumpster fire will either add contraversey and infamy or actually cause the bad end that people are trying to avoid & upset about.

Sounds like they are cascade trigger alarmed for little reason.

Anger does not bring about creative passionate clear vision.

My sound was on kind-of loud when I accidentally clicked the play button. It was terrible.

Quoting: DisharmonicThe Anti-SJW crowd is as tiresome as the SJW crowd. Can we just get back to playing games

You spelled youth wrong.

This concept is Sexy As Fuck.

Especially the chicken leg robot style of the 90s, it shares common origin with Star Wars AT-AT and Walkers and reminds me of G-NOME.

After owning 4 X360, 4 XONE, 4 DS4, 2 Steam Controller and 2 Wiimotes I really love the low latency of X360, the wireless range (not available on bluetooth) and the ability to use regular batteries instead of charge and decharge a non-removable battery fucking up my playtime waiting.

I still hate the X360 dongle and how ackward and messy it is.

I was not hopeful that the Nintendo controller would offer much of interest or value.

I am curious if the Atari VCS controller will be constructed well or not and be worth it or not.
