I will definitely buy this.

If I had the opportunity to buy all games that I consider ROM-worthy on Steam -- I would because I will gladly exchange money for someone to auto-organize, auto-update, and provide a no-bullshit way of playing these classics.

I am excited about Golden Axe.

If you're listening SEGA, bring me more classics to buy on SteamOS please! :)

Quoting: ElectricPrismAccording 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.

Oh give me a break. They are cartoons. They can appear to be anything. They are not real. They cannot consent to anything, and you cannot hurt them. They are figments of somebodys imagination.

Nobody is promoting underage sex here. It's all about somebodys subjective perception of what age the cartoon character looks like. You cannot with a straight face say that you can tell the difference between a cartoon depiction of a 16-year old, and a 25-year old.

That's your opinion.

My opinion is that yes there is content in the game that looks like the characters represent girls under the age of 18.

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.

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
