Everything Steam Bans Now (2025 Edition)

There is a Petition for this issue on change.org for the USA folks.

Surely Valve won't have any double standards and will remove CoD and BG3 posthaste. I too have reported them to make sure Valve is aware that these problematic titles exist on their storefront.

The game i'm working on just now has been basically torpedoed in its current form as a consequence of this. Entire scenes need to be cut from a potential Steam release and i'm not sure how that's going to be resolved. I think off-site 18+ patches are the only realistic way to get adult content on Steam going forwards, although i was half-jokingly running a workaround in my mind where games have a big "CONSENT" button in every scene where you click on it and the (fictional) characters involved say "I 100% consent to this!!". Possibly in sunglasses and bathrobes like they're between takes on a Hollywood film set.

This reminds me Lola Bunny, do you ever wonder why she got sexualized in the first place? it was because they wanted Bugs Bunny's romantic interest to not been seen as a minor. This sex taboo is horrible, creators are forced to be considered ether pervs or pedos.

Annie. I know you feel my suggestions are beyond your scope, but your video seems to suggest that porn games are in a serious crisis. Again, there are at least two things the community must do: 1) Game creators must start working closer together to support each other. The best option of all IMHO is to create a formal organization. 2) and this will not be popular with everyone here: we need to support age verification. Most people around the world, including most politicians, are worried about children being exposed to porn and particularly worry about porn games for that reason. Reassuring them that online platforms like Steam are working to address their concern will go far to reduce pressure for total censorship. The few extremists who secretly want to censor everything will have a harder time then getting their way. This measures will take time to implement, but they are the right way to go.

Is it class action time?

Unlike The Avatar, when the world needed her the most, SPG stepped up. Time to mass report Call of Duty and BG3 for breaking so many of these new rules. Malicious compliance time!

I like how you ask folks to report games like Baldur's Gate 3 lol as only one example. With all your clout in the community, I am interested to see if you can create some kind of Change.org petition for MasterCard and Visa to change these policies. Such things as what they use arbitrarily here, spans across multiple fetish and kink communities. I cannot even imagine the worldwide number of signatures, especially if you get gigantic creators like the Subverse people to share the petition and such. Conversely, maybe you are the Chosen One, Annie, thrust into a position you never asked for and can start your own credit card company with a Kickstarter, and then you can allow anything goes (just don't sell out when Visa or MC attempt to purchase your SPG credit card company) lol. Anyway, you are in such a unique position to be the voice of potentially a billion gamers/kinksters/artists and more. Heavy responsibility, but we're all behind you, m'lady.
