Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You can disable showing adult games from the store in the store preferences.

This setting is apparently disabled by default, so at some point you enabled it.
Yeah, I think he enabled it. It never showed porn games for me.
Is it more about the porn or the shovelware for you? That is to ask: would you play a porn game that is sufficiently story-driven and acclaimed?
Ehat you said reminded me of Fate Stay Night, never played it, but the story was so good they made anime and manga for it, without the sex scenes of course.
So turn off the check box that shows you porn games....
One of the biggest problems is "what is porn?". Time and again a clear definition eludes us and it comes down to personal perception. What one group of people think is porn is not to a different group. Also something to think and reflect about, why are you okay with a store selling intense and graphic violence, but not sex?
Then we get to the fact that it isn't Steam calling the shots on this, not really. It is payment processors. The real outrage here is that Steam is not getting to decide what they do and don't sell, and it isn't a legal problem either. It is an arbitrary choice by the middle man monopoly. And there is nothing stopping their rules removing your ability to buy GTA or Dishonored next.
I think the backlash would be a lot less if this was truly a Steam decision. There would be people upset still, but I don't think to the same degree. The massive outrage is that stores all over, including as big as Steam, are being blackmailed into making these changes.
I believe this group tried to remove GTA V and Detroit become human.
They succeeded in getting GTA5 pulled from the shelves of two of the largest physical distributors in Australia.
Excuse me sir, but Super Hentai Bejeweled 3000 is one of the best games of our times.
/S
Just turn the adult stuff off yo.
The former belong to the M rated category while the hypothetical latter would belong to the Adults Only category. As others have pointed out, you can hide adult games and still see other games with violence and mature themes. Steam classifies M-rated games and AO-rated games differently.
steam is for games... no, it isn't really. steam has been distributing non game software for ages.
porn games are games so even if steam is for games it should have porn games.
i don't care for porn games but I've filtered them out so who cares what others do with their time
Certainly there should be better search tools and personal curation on Steam. If you don't want to see it you should be able to easily filter it.
Or its sequel, Futanari Tentacle Schoolgirl 4000
