![]() For instance, it isn't clear yet whether or not live action video (or FMV, in videogame parlance) pornography will have a place on Steam under these new rules. That does raise the question of whether or not Valve will truly be completely hands-off. Proponents of the policy, including Brenda Romero and QWOP creator Bennett Foddy, have echoed Valve's view that it should act as a neutral platform. What tools Valve provides to developers to curb harassment may or may not make some difference there, though the long-term cultural effects of course remain to be seen. Itch.io's creator also criticized the policy. ![]() Developer Robert Yang, however, criticized the initial policy announcement (opens in new tab), saying that the hands-off approach only emboldens reactionary currents among Steam users and developers, opening the door but not truly welcoming vulnerable creators. If Valve is consistent with its new policy, it may be of some relief to devs who want to make explicit or experimental work without worrying about whether or not they can be included on PC gaming's largest platform. Negligee itself contains "pressured sexual relationships" and "themes related to abusive marriages" according to its developer's description, though not having played it I lack context for these elements.

I honestly didnt think Valve being a large and cautious American company had the nerve to allow what many would consider pornography (and in many cases theyd be right) onto Steam. The Witcher 3, Path Of Exile and Conan Exiles are marked as games containing nudity, but a few previously-borderline games like Ladykiller In A Bind, Waifu School (ugh) and Bloody Boobs (URGH) fall into the new category.Ī very American divide no level of ultra-violence can be considered worthy of being Adult Only, but the moment someones pants come off with salacious intent, its a whole new ball game pun fully intended. There are also toggles to blur or warn about extreme violence and nudity in user-generated content, although these are disabled by default. ![]() ![]() It and a handful of other games have been flagged as Adult Only material, and will not appear unless you go to your Steam Preferences page and click the box to show explicit sexual content. If you dont want to see games with naughty bits, you wont not unless you ask nicely. If nothing goes wrong between now and its launch this Friday, saucy visual novel Negligee: Love Stories will be Steams first uncut sexually explicit game.
