        I’m going to develop a new games called Capybara Idol Group Manager Simulator, where you have to schedule shows for Capybaras with big personalities.

            Depending on the situation yes, but this is still very much a simulator so the capybaras will complain quite a bit via email and you’ll have to fill out form 89.33b Non-cleaning Maid Clearance (non-military).

                As I don’t like DLC this will be released in an update called WERE BEING INVADED BUT LETS DEFEND OUR CAPYBARA IDOLS.

      They’re insidious, a warning is necessary.

    Finally! It’s much easier to find what you’re looking for when the description actually, you know, describes.

    Now, if they would just narrow down the type of sexual content and gore.

    “NSFW” is a terrible label and people should stop using it.

        The catch all is what I have problems with, it lets people obscure what they are labeling. And it is often done to avoid specifying anything. It’s like a nesting doll of reference instead of just stating the thing clearly.

    I appreciate that as what’s currently tagged as Not Safe For Work (in many sources including Steam) are actually fine for work and adults, it’s immature minds (usually those under 16) and people under the influence of conservative values that it’s not safe for

    And addicts I suppose

    Nothing new; they just renamed “unavailable in Germany” to “sexual content”.

      In Europe it’s less controversial to display nudity. Nudity and sex are 2 different things. However violence, blood and gore is generally hidden on screen.

        Steam in Germany is a bit of a special case. Basically, they got criticized for years for offering adult-only games to minors on account of not having any kind of legally accepted age check.

        Steam finally reacted to this but not by implementing PostIdent or some other age verification scheme. No, they just blocked German users from even seeing the store pages of anything that doesn’t have an age rating in Germany. That mostly means porn games.

        Hence my comment that “sexual content” and “unavailable in Germany” are pretty much the same thing as far as Steam is concerned.

    That’s a pretty big change…

    NSFW is useless for video games anyways.

    But when it was tied to “gore”, if you tried to hide shitty horny games, you ended up hiding the vast majority of games too.

    “Sexual content” still isn’t perfect tho, one “hot coffee” scene would likely trigger it like a game whose entire point is sus looking anime characters.

    It wouldn’t be bad if there wasn’t so many, but it just clogs up the store with slop because dumb kids pay the $5-20 so the store pushes them. If someone breaks down and buys one, they’re prob very likely to keep buying them. So the algo (blindly) pushes them on everyone.

    They need to just admit that a significant number of games on steam only exist as porn. And then they’d be able to actually separate them. But that’s a can of worms they’ll want to ignore as long as possible.

      Steam did change their general “mature content” filtering recently-ish I think. That’s independent of tags.

      In your account settings you can go to your Store preferences and enable or disable if you want “mature content”, violence and gore, “some nudity”, and possibly others, along with some example games for those categories.

      Since I’m from Germany it stops at “some nudity”, since more explicit stuff is blocked here anyway, but if you’re from a more developed country you should get one or two more options.

      That way you shouldn’t need to rely on tags to filter out all the porn games (if that’s what you want).
