Tamer: King of Dinosaurs Delayed: Is Steam Censorship Creating Another Early Access Nightmare?

I would prefer if the only meddling Valve did was check for scams and malware, but in the framework where they're acting as a censor, this at least this doesn't seem like an unreasonable request. Adding those cheat codes shouldn't be very hard to do, and would also benefit end users.

I figured the delay was due to them having to rework a lot of it after the last demo response on steam, because it was a lot of annoying and unfun stuff going on with it. That said I do know a couple of games the developers struggled with getting steam approvals, one had to resubmit his game three or four times.

It is nothing about gaming; the real issue here is that you want and only allow yourself to see this in the eyes of the gamer. As you said, this is a game created by gamers for gamers. Not everything in gaming is about gaming. They want easy access for all the sex scenes because the board that regulates explicitness needs to know just how explicit those scenes are to give the game the overall maturity rating. If there were no sex scenes in the game, you wouldn't have been delayed. There needs to be a specific classification for the game for early access and for the full release. Clissification Ie. EC (Early Childhood) E (Everyone) E10+ (Everyone 10+) T (Teen) M (Mature 17+) AO (Adults Only 18+) These ratings specifically help parents or guardians determine the appropriate level of freedom to buy the game. They most likely have restrictions on game clients based on thier age. An E10+ account obviously cannot purchase anything higher than that. Game Clients like Steam like to offer a safe haven to buy the appropriate games for every situation, so they can legally say they are doing everything to keep thier consumers safe and not be lying.
