Yea, clearly the incest was going too far. Only wholesome games left now!

Ahaha, WTF is that? I didn't even knew this was a thing >__<

There was a brief time when steam first started allowing NSFW games and people hadn't thought about discord status broadcasting that they were playing incest harem 5 or whatever which made for some very funny screenshots

i still laugh that steam even has nsfw

 

[ApocalypseSurvivor]

Honestly I don't think STEAM is the right place for NSFW games or anything related to that.

exactly, neither is gog, dont know about itch
It was bound to happen. it got noticed and got banned, what do you expect.

These post always make me laugh and show's how bad the average person lost touch with that term.

every M rated game AAA in the old days even recently fall's under the same term.

Also by the credit card's own terms of service my little pony is also pornography.

That's about the dumbest thing I've read all week.
The issue isn't the platform, it's the payment processors. And they didn't take issue because the content was on steam, they took issue because the content existed in connection to their services at all. Which means that there is NO PLACE those payment processers would accept.

Make your own platform, call it "Lewdcorner" or something, and try to see if you can get paypal etc. to allow their payment processing to be used.
OH WAIT.

And this "steam isn't for NSFW games", where exactly is this garbage coming from?
What's next? Steam isn't for mature games. So games with sexual content (e.g. Mass Effect) just get removed. Anything with nude characters (Ready or Not) gets removed?
What after? Steam isn't for games with gore. So any of them get removed?
You think steam is teletubby land or something?

Like what exactly happened in your mind that you thought that statement made any sense? Do you have some magical insight into what makes steam a SFW only platform beyond whatever burp lingered in your gut?

I'm gonna spell it out for you, nice and clearly:
Steam is the ONE PLACE you ABSOLUTELY want to have NSFW games.
It is the most likely thing that could make NSFW games mainstream viable.
Which means bigger budgets, better titles, more awesome games than you ever thought possible.

What do you think video games were 20 years ago? 20 years ago, people often didn't tell others they played video games, at the risk of no longer being taking seriously.
Video games haven't always been mainstream. They used to be the nerdy thing fat people with glasses did in their mothers basement - that was the perception before they went mainstream.

3rd party places that sell keys have been tolled to pull M games and grand theft auto is on another chopping block the payment processors look at mass effect as they would a terrorist recruitment video.

The funny thing is that some of those games are not even incest. A lot of devs don't have the balls to do it so they make the characters step-siblings and shit like that. I wish you gamers would call out those pussy ass devs who do that shit.

It's not a question of balls, it's a question of: see topic.
If you develop an incest game where everything is nameable or patchable, you can put it on storefronts and have patreon support. If you don't, you can't.

The difference is one is a business you can make money at, because people can buy it, the other is no business at all. It's a waste of a developers time and money.
No serious developer will work for 2-3 years or longer on a game that doesn't even make $100 per month.
You can work fulltime developer because you're rich or get the financial support or you can't. If you can't, you need a job. If you're only picking low hour work jobs so you have time for your dev hobby, you'll have an easily fireable position, because when things go bad, you're the fat that gets trimmed first. Your hourly rates are garbage. And you have no security in case anything goes wrong health or otherwise.

If you cannot sell a game, you cannot make it. And since patreon & others, also due to paypal & co, have cut out things like "incest", the developers do not actually have a choice. Either there's a game with patch/self-naming, or there's no game at all.

What you're seeing are side-effects of earlier censorship and how they affect how games are developed.
My stance of "this will change what kind of games will be developed in the future if it's allowed" is not a hypothetical.
Incest game devs would prefer to not have that silly nonsense, because it prevents them from being able to utilize the topic in the story and plot & character arcs.

They have it, because there is no other way. Those paypal influences on patreon? Have already massively shaped what type of game is developed, and what kind of content developers can even offer.

Ture but there are games that have steam patches that put stuff back in.

 

[greey12]

looks like the nonsense is ending so what was that?
A- testing the waters before pushing digital identity or some other dystopian bullcrap by 2030
B- some deviation to make you look away from scandalous stuff like epstein?

That is the real 'danger' of censorship, it is not what gets taken down suddenly, rather it influences actions and opinions indirectly and over long time shapes new generations. It also happens on many levels like fitting into 'age rating', avoiding touchy/uncomfortable or dividing topics and so on until you get a product that has been filtered through tens of layers, instead of a vision of a few.

It is hard to fault for using these censorious services due to how convenient they are like a creditcard or paypal account, but the reason they have so much power is because people give it to them by using them.

Fun thing is that in steam are games wich still there and can clearly see its "incest" since the game give the chance to change "land lady" for mom, and even in the dialogs without change "land lady" the let you know its your mother, like happens in "My Bimbo Dream"

I just hope this nonesense comes to the oblivion and we can enjoy our games the way we want and such stupid Karens that nobody cares just dissapear from this world

Judging by the fact you've written a long essay to show frustration. I get it. I understand. I was like you back in 2015-16 when Payment processors told patreon not to post NSFW content. I was furious back then. Now in 2025 they are banning up and right about this.


Straight to the fact. YOU CANT DO ABOUT IT and neither ME or ANYONE.
Steam cant do about it because THEY ARE BOUND TO PAYMENT PROCESSORS and MANY WEBSITES which requires payment processors.
You can do one thing which is crypto currency and thats the last resort.

I know it's still a wild west thing and nobody is wiling to go for it but I gave him an theoretical option but not in terms of practicality.
