Quoting: fabertaweOff topic - re: nudity...

I don't know which game(s) anyone is referring to and I probably wouldn't be interested anyway but I have to chuckle at the outrage to nudity when no one bats an eyelid at the gore, mutilation and violence in so many games (which I like playing btw!).

Censorship is always arbitrary. You don't know what will happen next.

In Germany we thought for a long time that only violent games like Dying Light or Left4Dead would be affected. But in the meantime the censorship is spreading to other areas as well. And the reason is always protection of minors, even if they are not interested at all, but compulsively stick to Minecraft.

And what's so bad about a 14-year-old jerking off at a Hentai game? I'm too old for this garbage, but I want to live in a free country that doesn't get lost in bigotry.

Quoting: ArdjeThat's great.

I already love the first "full nudity" game released on Steam.

The game was, of course, immediately banned in Germany and many other countries. In the past, you could buy it and then simply apply the nude patch. What Valve (and the publisher) did there is just totally idiotic. Even moderate people are really pissed off. At least that's how the German community sees it. And more countries will follow. England is at the top of the list, because they also have very problematic laws there.

Valve must finally introduce age verification. Every cheap porn site has that, but for Valve it's obviously a thing of impossibility. Censoring cartoons/hentai is really poor.

What do you think to Valve increasing their presence in the forums for each game?

They only delete posts that violate rules. So you won't see a Valve moderator in the forums. It is simply a service for publishers and developers. They pay at least 30% of their revenues to Valve.

Quoting: liamdaweUpdate: OpenGL

No Linux problem but I'm wondering if such games still run under MacOS after Apple completely stops support for OpenGL? It is already discontinued and only a question of time until OpenGL is completely omitted.

Finally I wonder if the DXVK human doesn't get paid by someone after all. The workload is impressive for a free project without payment. If Valve hasn't already hired the person, they should think about it. And Lutris?

> He's now up again on the People at Valve page,

Are these actually everyone who works at Valve?

How can they keep so many things going with so few people?

How many people actually work at Valve?

Just for comparison: Ubisoft has 10,000 employees.

Quoting: GuestThis is all to push you harder into using their chat software which is proprietary and insecure and I don't care about or want to use, and it's SUBTRACTING a feature that was there previously: offline.

Why don't you complain to Valve? Currently, people are using Discord, which will eventually sell our data to the highest bidder. I'd much rather have a voice chat integrated into Steam than this discord stuff with its opaque business model.
