Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed

Side note: I wish they’d just call them porn games, not “adult games”. I expect adult games to be games for adults, as in, the games that are age-restricted to 18+.

Or are they going to start removing stuff that’s PEGI 18 / ESRB M, like Baldur’s Gate 3? No? Exactly.

That’s just the reality of ‘adult’ as the most common euphemism, as in ‘adult films’. It’s not going anywhere.

  I know, I just think it’s annoying. I even turned on some option to see “adult games” in Steam for a little while because I thought it meant it would shut off the age verification for games like BG3. Instead it started showing me porn games (with no age verification), while still requiring an age check for actual adult games.

  I looked it up and you are correct about the ratings but I would imagine the downvotes are because of your second sentence - ESRB M doesn’t exactly mean the game is for minors in the same way that AO is only for adults

  Glossed over after someone was shouting about my “A Child.” I think it’s an honor roll student thing but I wandered off.
