Comment on Steam users in the UK will need a credit card to access “mature content” games
mbirth@lemmy.ml 4 weeks agoHuh, you’re right. Just checked my account again and I now see this message:
Under the UK Online Safety Act, Valve is required to verify that you are 18 or older before accessing mature sexual content. If you wish to do so, please add a valid UK credit card to your account and afterwards update the Mature Content Preferences.
That wasn’t there a few hours ago.

Yeah, I think this is pretty poor from Steam. Especially if this expands in scope beyond the pornslop games to include stuff on the level of Cyberpunk or Baldurs Gate - which I assume it would have to per OSAs standards.
