>>713485683 (OP)
they cant reject Blue Archive though right? its already approved?

>>713485683 (OP)
Why can devs post games to steam before getting approval for launch?
This would at least be less embarrassing if steam reviewed before devs publicly announced they were launching.

>>713485683 (OP)
This man will save Blue Archive

>>713485767
Mary's new strategy for games that are "too big" is to initially approve them and then leave them on hold like this at the last second, that way Valve doesn't get the backlash of "rejecting" the games and also pins the blame on it being an issue on the developer's side.

If the queue gets cleared out in the next few days I think it's safe to say Nexon may have sent some goons to stand outside Valve with baseball bats of peace

>>713486792
the thing is, he doesn't really explain what it means, feels like it's going to go under another review process again

It's for the greater good

>>713485683 (OP)
Why is Steam's review process so unprofessional?

>>713485767
Thing is, nexon has partened up with Valve for quite a while already. I would be shocked if they wouldn't lend a helping hand to the BA team.
The question is, Would BA's steam version getting cancelled lead to Nexon breaking their Steam partnership?

This is bad, the steam release was going to bring more BA discussion on /v/. Now we lost momentum and most discussions are going to be about the delay.
It's a shame.

>>713488540
>Mary gets executed
We can only hope

how come Madoka isnt on Steam yet?

>>713488304
Valve doesn't give a fuck unless it's big news that reaches the normie sphere and nobody but pedos cares

>>713488801
mods are not deleting the threads just because people are mocking the game

god i hope these janitor niggers get doxxed again

>>713488945
Its going to EOS in a year so there's no point.

>>713485683 (OP)
never in a million years did I think I'd see the day I considered leaving steam for a different platform. so sick of censorship and the absolute scum who push it

>>713488945
The port is not ready yet, although they added the anticheat to the pc port recently, this probably means the pc port is almost ready

https://steamdb.info/app/2987800/history/

>>713488945
Funny thing is that they will probably keep the region lock

>>713485683 (OP)
I dont understand
Why did Stream allowed Mad Island, but not this?

>>713488801
Without momentum the threads will die

Stop making pedo games. It's as simple as that.

>>713489007
It's making money still and the movie is coming out later this year, so I doubt it. I give it like 2 years before Sony decides to pull the plug on it.

>>713488945
They're doing a hundredth day livestream tomorrow, I wouldn't be too surprised if they announce the steam release then

>>713489250
Mad Island has American values (extreme violence)

>>713489007
>>713489374
Reco lived for almost 7 years

>>713485767
It’s either they have a problem with the content, which is actually the least likely by far, they have some problem with the microtransactions, the port has some kind of bug, or the employee is being lazy and has to read through the whole game.

>>713489548
I mean, to be fair Sony Aniplex is apparently planning to pump out much more Madoka content after the movie comes out so I can see the gacha living for that long, so long as it still makes money that is. I still wonder why they just didn't get Lasenge to make and manage the gacha like what they did with FGO.

>>713486498
fucking bitch that she is

>>713486498
The tweet has 13k likes and a million views, she might get fired trying it with Nexon.

>>713490369
how can a single person hold a multi million dollar franchise hostage

who reviews the reviewer, for sure nexon can pull some stringes and get to whoever is holding BA hostage to speed up the process

steam had a goblin game where you would rape women and children and put them in your sex dungeon
its been removed, but that shit was on there for years lol

>>713490721
Steam had a lot of games of the same vein on there for years, until you know the whole Rapelay situation but even then it was around when Rape Day got banned in 2019 did things start to really fully change.

>>713490548
I really hope the game gets banned so Nexon gets angry and kicks Gaben in the balls so he can finally move his ass and do something.
Mary's liveleak video hopefully

>>713490548
Mary killed Japan's otaku games industry single handedly lol.
Literal 30+ year old otaku legend developers like Inti Creates and Aquaplus have bemoaned Steam in recent interviews and they feel so let down that nothing can be done about it

>>713490964
much more recent than that.

Inti:

>Aizu: We would love to make and release more “GalGun” games. However, the platform holders have not been receptive. Currently, Nintendo is the only platform where we can release GalGun.

>Steam was fine until a while ago, but now Steam has become strict on sexual issues. In Asia, it's not a big deal and it's accepted, but in the West, if it's set in a school, it's a school, it's targeting minors, so it's hard to deal with stories set in a school.

>It became a situation where we worked hard to make the game, but which platform can we release it on? If I said, “Let's release it only on the platforms we can release it on,” I would end up making a new GalGun game, and the people who enjoyed the previous game, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, would be angry because they couldn't play it even if they wanted to.

>That's what's happening now, and it's really limiting for indie developers. There are fewer platforms that we want to make, that we want to put out, that we want to enjoy, and we may not be thinking about how to do that as a business first.

>If you tell me that I can make it anyway, I honestly want to make it, but if I can't enjoy the finished game on the hardware I have, it will be a little disappointing.

Aquaplus:

-The bishoujo game market shrank at one point, but with the emergence of games that can be played on Steam, I think there is a trend toward Japanese visual novels being reevaluated around the world. What do you two think about this trend and the Steam market?
Orito: As for Steam... the screening process is strict (laughs).
Everyone: (laughs).
Orito: I've heard that the standards change depending on the person in charge of the review, so it's quite difficult.

>>713486498
>>713491017
Soooooo how many Nexon games has this mary managed to get banned on steam? Remember BA is delayed not banned.

>>713491627
Inti's been releasing the Gal Gun games without issue on Korean PC storefronts this year, so they're trying to find some kind of way out, but the issue all these companies face is they lose like 90% of their sales not being on Steam.
Aquaplus releases their games on DMM Games as well, but you can't even access that outside of Japan without a VPN.

now you understand why steam having a monopoly is bad

I hope some day Timmy bends over Steam like he did with Apple.

>>713491901
Its not Steam's fault that every other competitor actively sabotages themselves.

>>713491627
It pretty much doesn't. Not being on steam loses you 95% of the reach a game could have

>>713485767
They havent rejected it.

>>713491863
mary having a job is what's bad

>>713491267

>We want to release our games on Steam because that's where the market is
>We won't release our games on PC anywhere other than Steam
>Why does Steam have a grip on the PC market, this isn't fair

>>713492127
A number of banned Steam games have tried GOG or elsewhere and have always said the sales were basically not even worth it

>>713492310
Because it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. These dumbasses only release their games on Steam, which feeds into Steam being the only store worth a damn, so when Steam isn't an option, all the other stores they could be using aren't attractive because they haven't established them as viable alternatives. They need to start offering their games on places like JAST and DLSite to make them attractive alternatives first, but they refuse to do that so long as they have Steam as an option, and keep making Steam the only option, and completely refuse to recognise how their own actions are biting them in the ass and feeding into the same problem they're complaining about.

>>713492585
>DLsite

You mean the site that cucked foreign buyers?

>>713491901
Timmy boy is too much of a faggot to allow these types of games, almost as bad as Microsoft, almost. We can only rely on Valve and Nintendo, meaning Valve needs to cut off a head, and Nintendo needs to cut off a head at Nintendo of America blocking these games. In order for games like these to not be blocked, great sacrifices must be made at Nintendo of America and Valve.

>>713492585
DLsite just got ton of shit range blocked because CC companies you dumbass.

Nips can get away with those kind of releases but not across the globe.

>>713492781
>>713493187
Only being able to buy certain products with a VPN is still less restrictive than not being able to buy them at all. And that also doesn't apply to anything that isn't an eroge to begin with.

The fanbase of other gachas aren't as annoying as BA. The BA discussion page was filled with literal schizophrenia for pages and pages.

Who the fuck is Mary?

>>713493582
Every time an Asian dev shows their rejection message it's always signed Mary
It's definitely not the person's real name though.

>>713485683 (OP)
remember it was gabe newell himself who tried to ban hatred. a fucking slightly edgy twinstick shooter.

>>713493891
Huh? Wrong memory bro. It was Gaben who let Hatred through.

>>713492585
steam been defacto monopoly for ~15 years
even epic cant change that with all their promotions

>>713493947
Yeah because people were loud enough, problem is that valve have zero transparency with their review policy.

They don't even tell why game got rejected in first place, unlike consoles.

I wish Valve still cared about their games so we could get BA weapons in TF2...

>>713494689
They should build more teams that can make games again, sell those games on Steam first verify them for Deck and Deck 2, and then maybe put them on other platforms.

>>713486498
is this why minecraft showed up in steam a few months ago?

If not for this, the hacker situation, and mild gaping for politics valve would still have a supremely positive reputation. Still great devs.

>Sony and Microsoft are floundering
What's going to happen to Sony's and Microsoft's entire gaming sectors once Sony's PS6 and handheld companion, and Microsoft's "Xbox PC" fails?

>>713494067
Why don't use more storefronts than steam? Itch.io and GOG are literally there

>>713496595
>>Nintendo is making GOTY content

>>713496241
>Half-Life Alyx 5 years ago

Yeah, they're doing great.

>>713496595
Publishing arms and consoles in the cloud.
Mircrosoft make better controllers than consoles now.

I think the best outcome would be Valve actually putting their foot down and banning visual novels (and adjacent) games outright. Maybe then we could get a concerted effort to have these games available somewhere better, where they don't have to hope that they get lucky in the review process. And maybe that would get enough attention to actually get people to check it out as well.

>>713496652
You lost

>>713485683 (OP)
I dont get it, why BA PC client is still on hold?

>>713496729
I feel this will be a good thing for them both, the fall of Microsoft's Xbox PC and Game Pass would lead to them dropping the AAA model and making smaller more quality games for Steam and Switch. Sony would drop their singleplayer and live-service push most likely putting control back in Japan leading to a push for small developers and dropping AAA as well for Steam and Switch. Valve and Nintendo will succeed in bringing gaming back to the kids and nerds.

Mari is too sexy for Steam.

>>713488801
You gacha fags already have an entire board for this shit.

>>713497014
I wonder if another developer will get big enough to make a console and restart the loop. I can't see anyone making that risk outside of some money farm gacha publisher trying a handheld to be free from google/apple

>>713496779
They won't do that. They had a "visual novel sale" this year (obviously boosting western shit) and they wouldn't be able to explain why they're banning VNs besides racism

>>713497793
Yeah, I don't see it, gaming will basically be owned by Nintendo and Valve in the future.

>>713488540
You know she lives in america right? Gooks can't do anything to her and you incels have no balls thankfully.

>>713485683 (OP)
I hope no one ITT is stupid enough to believe this is all steams fault.

Its the fucking card insitutions like VISA and Mastercard. They already fucked over the Dlsite and go away with it. Theyll do it to Steam as well and anyone who supports them.

What you are seeing now is just Steams protection against them

>>713505721
same with DLsite, they have their own private currency for that, that they only use for dubious CS gambling

>>713505721
Doubt it.
BA has CC options AND is literally on the google play store.
Nekomata is the odd one.

>>713505721
>VISA and Mastercard
When are they getting fucked? I heard they're about to get broken up.

>>713485683 (OP)
It is insane to me that they are trying to fuck over Nexon. Nekopara devs are nobodies who landed a big hit, but Nexon has been a Valve business partner since at least 2008.
Are they actually willing to throw away tens of millions over this? This is the kind of thing that would normally be worked out in a five minute phone call between two executives.

>>713491017
>>713491519
I imagine they wouldn't care as much about Steam being cucks if everyone else wasn't doing the same thing. Sony alone becoming Snoy made Inti Creates reconsider Gal*Gun's future, and then they got kicked off Xbox as well. Inti now considers Nintendo to be the only platform they can still release a proper Gal*Gun game, and even there, I wonder if they're just not informed about how Nintendo has been treating devs like Compile Heart recently. Steam is just one piece of the puzzle, the entire industry has been moving in this direction since 2018.

>>713505134
Is Sora playable yet?

>>713491415
>a private company is allowed to do whatever it wants
If I ever believed that, I don't any more. A platform with a certain amount of market share should be have rules of neutrality similar to public entities forced on them to restrain their ability to carry out targeted censorship like this and abuse their market share to block content they don't like out of the market. Steam is a natural monopoly with a commanding network effect and it's high time this got acknowledged as a problem.

>>713507093
Gal Gun already got censored by microsoft in the 2010s. They were the original SJW platform.

>>713489686
if game-breaking bugs were a problem on Steam half the games wouldn't be on there, including some of Valve's own games.

>>713485767
It was already approved since they had an actual release date when it was added on Steam, but the retarded fan base posted a bunch of UOH CUNNY threads on the official Steam forum and now it got slapped with a sexual content warning.

>>713507451
pretty sure that was already there since the game was listed as ADULTS ONLY from the START.

>>713507451
that was adult-only from the start
even all the announce threads were poking fun at it

>>713507451
>nudity
>BA has no nudity
>sexual content
>BA has no sexual content
What did Nexon mean by this? Why the fuck did they check those boxes in their Steam publishing UI?

>>713507550
>>713507560
I could've sworn it wasn't there before when I checked on it on day 1 of the game getting added on Steam.

>>713507167
She has a mini story

>>713507386
This, Microsoft started all this shit, them failing is great, Xbox has 3 eras going on 4:
>The Direct Xbox era 2001-2010
>The Cloud era 2010-2017
>The Service era 2017-2026
>upcoming - The Publisher era 2026-beyond
Once their Xbox PC push fails, they will just release games on everything. Only good era was the Xbox era. Xbox died in 2010.

>>713507708
No, it was there the announcement. And everybody thought it was stupid, because on mobile the game might have received an M rating due to suggestive themes or something. But on Steam it outright labeled with "nudity" and "sexual content" which is simply untrue. It's either a fuck-up on intern-kun's side, who decided to play it safe and claim the game had that kind of content, in case Steam later decides it does, but they didn't declare it. Or it was flagged by Steam's automated review systems, which inner workings are a mystery.

>>713507626
the game is marked as adult-only in both the play store and app store (play store even specifically mentions "sex"), it was done just to keep parity

>>713488801
who gives a shit
fuck gacha games and fuck you
you literally have your own board

>>713507854
>play store even specifically mentions "sex"
That's false advertising.

>>713506287
>When are they getting fucked?
Never, too big to fail and all that

>>713507931
Now go post that in all the pokemon threads on /v/.

>>713507093
They wouldn't care if they could get eyes on their game anywhere outside steam. Hopefully JAST becomes a thing, but even if it does, it won't be soon.

>>713507942
>false advertising
>post sex

>>713507942
Or a sign as to what will be coming in a future patch.

>>713485767
They can. Look at google doc banlist. More than a few of them got removed post-launch.

How does literal malware and shovelware slop make it past the review but giant games like this dont?

>>713508149
Shovelware likely doesn't even get to the human review stage. It all either gets approved or rejected by the algorithm.

>>713490973
They promises to change the review process ever since the Chaos;head noah fiasco and all they did was making it harder to release animu shit.

just more disinformation, just like OP (and especially the OP of the last thread yesterday) claiming the game has been blocked/indefinitely cancelled when in reality its been delayed.
>>>713434001
I just dont understand the constant lies that get posted to /v/, its gotten much worse as of 2024.

>>713485862
>Why can devs post games to steam before getting approval for launch?
Because Steam allows it? They pass the initial review process just fine, but at the last moment a Steam janny MANUALLY holds the release back.

>>713508149
Someone at steam hates school settings because they think it's pedo. That's why the safest most innocous school setting slice of life games get banned on steam while hardcore rape and nazi furry games get approved without issues.

>>713490369
>>713486498
>>713489771
I initially thought it was one person being a fucking cunt too but now that this shit has been in overdrive the last year and I see the big fucking names getting shit on (remember Chaos;Head Noah?) I no longer think that.
Either the current head of Valve running the day-to-day is okay with this and approves of these actions, or it's the unspoken policy of Valve in general so they can bow to the payment processors/religious groups' demands (these are one and the same now basically in 2025, look it up) but try to avoid the huge backlash of selectively approving games and having no set policy for the rejections

>>713491519
>Steam was fine until a while ago, but now Steam has become strict on sexual issues. In Asia, it's not a big deal and it's accepted, but in the West, if it's set in a school, it's a school, it's targeting minors, so it's hard to deal with stories set in a school.
this is literally ONLY an issue in Japanese games. ONLY JAPANESE GAMES are getting banned for having SFW content with women that aren't even underage, but just "look young".

But then you have countless indie games made by the west, even some NSFW ones that get approved no problem, and a lot of them have zero quality control put into them and are just slapped together; but these actual games from japanese publishers get the stick

>>713509596
>has been in overdrive
It's not in overdrive. It's the same cadence of random shit getting fucked with and other crazier shit getting approved.

>>713509572
massive projection at work as always with these people. I wonder if they think FF8 is 'pedo'. After all, it's a school and Squall and Rinoa are underage.

>>713509647
not even remotely true. Now it's big names constantly and not just little no-name doujinshi circles

>>713509708
>big names constantly
Besides Nekopara and presumably BA who else?

No one, which is why Steam's review system is actual dogshit

>>713509962
Touhou Project, Muramasa, NoaH, Evenicle 2, etc etc but you're not really asking in earnest; you're trying to find a gotcha so instead I suggest you suck my dick and ask an AI bot

>>713510023
None of those are recent bro. Abd which Touhou got banned?

>>713509918
Have they rejected a Nexon game before though?

>>713507854
It has a PEGI 16 rating, same as any Persona game or probably any other nip game with hot characters

>>713509572
False, Persona and Hogwarts got on Steam just fine.

>>713510023

all of those happened in the span of years
so they never went into overdrive
its just the same random shit

>>713510136
No, but they're a lot more comfortable doing it now. The plausible deniability of never actually stating a policy is 100% intentional.

>>713491627
PC games do not sell on any platforms outside of Steam. It's why EA started releasing games again on Steam, it's why Ubisoft started releasing games again on Steam, it's why people don't even realize a game has been out already when it gets put on Steam after its initial EGS release etc.

>>713510079
those are recent to me

>>713510169
>2 massive games from massive publishers already deep tied into steam
uh, anon...

>>713510250
Tokyo Clanpool was such a joke of a ban. But of course the people you're talking to don't care you listed some games
>uh BRO Valve isn't gay they only sucked 4 dicks a year, not 8, okay?

>>713510242
They havent even done it yet

>>713510250
FYI, the first two got banned on GOG as well, and the last one got a censored release on GOG. These are pretty much completely shameless lolicon games, so no wonder.

>>713510327
semantic retard
>actually waiting 40 days is completely normal lol they didn't ban it yet xD

ah yes, the famous 'lolicon games' with big fucking titcows on both covers.
Quite.
Indeed.

>>713510394
not for the other games in the same boat it hasn't, fuck off retard
Maybe you aren't pretending to be retarded and are actually just regular old retarded

How in the fuck is this mary person not doxxed/murdered yet? Literally took down DECADE old japanese classic games.

>>713510429
Nu-4chan is a joke that's why.

>>713510396
They're clearly oppai lolis, stop pretending you don't know what the games got banned for

>>713491901
Steam already got rapped by Australia who successfully sued Steam over basic consumer rights. Valve lawyers are not actually that great.

>>713510429

normalfag-kun....

>>713510819
These people believe Nexon is a small indie company

>>713510819
I don't, I want to see Steam fuck off of this shit. I just don't think it'll happen because I believe it's intentional and supported by the top people at Valve.
I would love to be wrong, I really would. I don't even play any of the games ITT except some VNs like C;H

>>713510945
to expound; even if they end up banning anything remotely 'school related' (bye SMT 5, Persona, like a billion VNs, Digimon Survive, etc etc etc) it would be better for them to have to outright state a policy and apply it fairly and evenly.

I'm pretty sure Mary is a troon btw
I don't think a real woman would have the tenacity to hyper fixate like this

Discord sisters must be working out a new line of attack after that pathetic attempt to gaslight the thread

>>713511073
could very easily be a "male feminist"

>>713511073
Troons have cringe names like Luna or "Former male name + a" (e.g. Alexa). Mary would've been too basic for them.

>>713510819
I wonder if they already made the call.

>>713510862
Anime haters are almost always child molesters and seeing cute anime girls gives them nam flashbacks to whatever horrible and bleak child rapes they committed, that's why they react so hostile. The contrast of anime cuteness and whatever demented shit they did is too strong for them.

>>713511143
It's a plain name but they tend to go for those as well. There's a surprisingly high amount of Alice, Lily, etc, out there.

>>713511143
Lily is also a name troons have ruined.

>>713511215
I won't say it's true across the board, BUT I feel like you are correct in like 50% of cases, absolutely.
It's happened so many times it's a meme.
>>713511234
>Alice
I know a guy who used to catfish retards in Maplestory and say his name was Alice and he trooned out. The funny part? His real name was Skye, which seems way more faggoty.

>>713511181
The new tactic is to leave the devs on read because no answer avoids the devs announcing they've been MARY'd and the ensuing outrage that results from it

>>713511354
Well no Valve can't exactly ghost one of the biggest game company in the world.

And one they've partnered with too no less.

>>713511354
I feel like this has been reported so much already that it's becoming a Streisand moment. As soon as the usual Youtubers cover it, it' s on.

>Fan base comprised of one of, if not the most deranged gooners in any gacha game
>Flooded the steam forums with cunny posting the moment it was announced to be released on Steam
>Surprised when it suddenly got delayed like most other eroge releasing on Steam
Uma Musume, another anime girl gacha game is going to be released on time a day after Blue Archive's supposed release date before it got delayed.
Guess the horse yakuza had it right by officially discouraging the fan base from sexualizing the characters so they are less open about it.

>>713511474
the retarded fucking fanbase should have zero consideration on anything regarding a game's release.
Fucking mental.

>>713511474
Yeah, the retarded seamonkies 100% deserved this ban, um sorry, indefinite delay.

>>713511590
>indefinite delay.
where does it say, officially, there is an 'indefinite' delay?

>>713511665
That's the neat part, it doesn't. But Nekopara devs are in the same situation and have been on read only for almost 50 days now.

>>713491017
I don't often wish death on people, but Mary deserves it.

>>713511727
Sekai Project is not on the same scale as Nexon

>>713511727
You understand that the retarded behavior of the fanbase doesn't change the fact Nexon's a massive publisher (largest in Korea right?) and that BA is a cash cow for them
Steam fucking with Nekopara or other smaller time 2D ecchi stuff is one thing. Fucking with BA is another matter entirely. Whoever decided that some loli shitposting was worth fucking with BA's release is about to discover very fast that shit doesn't matter when there's actual profits at stake.

>>713511734
I don't even play these kinds of games but it's super aggravating. It kills smaller devs and chills niche games with even the smallest hint of ecchi while Sex With Hilter and Furry Faggots Fucking Felines Forever are approved instantly, a-ok

>>713511073
>I don't think a real woman would have the tenacity to hyper fixate like this
lol

>>713511798
i hate gacha but i'm with this anon, honestly. no way nexon is going to leave this alone like this. calls are definitely being made

question is, is this going to change the review process for other games?

>>713486792
>the timer has been reset
Thank fuck.

something something wolf in sheep's clothing

>>713511973
them cucking on Chaos;Head and giving in to the anger of the customer base didn't, but maybe this is big enough to do so this time?

Valve needs to reevaluate their review process, having 1 rogue employee able to make biased decisions with no opportunity to appeal is just bad business practice.

>>713511973
Best case scenario is that the employee who fucked up gets told to stay away from Steam but thats it

>BA gets the anime hating tranny fired

nows the time to make a big public stink about "her" since not only are people at their most exhausted with troons, while also being agitated and sick of "muh transphobia" insults, but people are just out for blood in general and sick of censorship.
Call them out and cause a public backlash and valve is at least likely to notice mary is bad for their business image.

>>713512346
We don't even know if it's that, could just be a run of the mill Karen offended by cute 2D girls. So don't start that shit.

>>713512057
C;H was a much smaller release, it made no sense to bother with it. A cashcow that is BA - that is an entirely different matter.

>>713510661
Nekopara isn't loli retard

>>713512289
>konoha
>a game where you collect "Loli-mon" and have them engage in fuck combat with full porn
>main character is like 8 years old and get impregnated by countless monsters/humans/demons

Again, what the hell is wrong at valve? and blacksouls has been on the "coming soon" for what? a month now?

Valve and Nexon are LITERALLY partners, this won't slide.

>>713512525
>and blacksouls has been on the "coming soon" for what? a month now?
That's how the publishers work you retard
Tbey announce something months in advance

>>713512487
Should we tell this guy?

>>713512616
NTA but it has no H scenes in the steam release.

>>713512487
You think Karen cares, retard?

>>713512346
Oh there will be a big stink, doing this to Nexon is a big fuckup.

>>713512482
it was one of the first times they cucked though; it was big enough for the dissent to matter for once vs say, Evanicle 2

>>713512260
everything is getting more expensive anyways and car companies are developing electronic systems nobody asked for which further raises cost

This shit is completely random. Stuff like Mojika gets a pass but BA dosen't. It's a casino and you can't beat the house.

>>713512346
>>713512398
its 100% the same fucker that keeps banning every hentai/anime/VA game they get on there desk.

Now the real question is where do we go and what do we do, Bitching on 4chan wont do as much as, for example, bitching on steam at the very least right?

Never. Not until the EU or Japan comes up with an alternative.

>>713512525
>konoha
does that need a patch to have such content?
External patches are irrelevant to valves store.
MauMau is the same, clearly a little girl, like the kind of loli you cannot deny is a child, fucking monsters uncensored, with loli monsters with cunny on show - only all of that is via a patch, unpatched there is clothing destruction but never nudity.
Theres an alice game where you play as a little girl, with upskirts, cunny, peeing, rape, death and gore etc - all via a patch. The unpatched game is clean enough to pass

Think about it this way
If this was anyone but Nexon a game filled to the brim with schoolgirls with actual canon ages would have gotten INSTANTLY banned

The fact that it was only a delay bodes very well for the game

>>713512841
>Stuff like Mojika gets a pass
Mojika gets a pass? How the fuck would they even butcher that one to make it "passable" without the off site patch? The whole thing about the EVIL TREE COCK GOD is kinda hard to censor. Or does the game just launch to a screen saying "lmao download the patch"

>>713509596

please read Geminism

>>713512954
I don't think anyone expects them to get banned, it's just a janny throwing a tantrum. Hopefully the gooks will get mad enough to improve Valve's review process.

Honestly true. If a smaller publisher released BA they would bave gotten bitchslapped.

Nexon has been a Valve business partner since at least 2008. They released million dollar sellers on Steam. They get front page treatment every now and then. Valve have partnered with them extensively for business in Korea.

How can Valve ghost Nexon?

>>713512834
And those electronic systems are horrible with no way to maintain them
I can't do a basic power cycle for my radio that constantly breaks, it only powers down when you walk away from the car because it uses a proximity key fob.

The touch sensors on the dashboard controls NEVER FUCKING WORK
The automatic cruise control adapter breaks constantly with no option for manual cruise control

>>713498718
>they wouldn't be able to explain why they're banning VNs besides racism
The explanation is that VN's aren't games

>>713513089
It originates from this. But the actual issue stems on steam having a one strike system where a singular wagie for some reason can decide to just ban any game from steam and devs cannot appeal or do shit really.

>>713513046
well hopefully there mad, I dont play gacha but I just hate unfairness and this shit, happening over and over, thanks to the one fucking tranny steam has not fired yet is just insane

>>713513028
It's a decade and a half rerelease that wouldn't have happened if not for the shitch.
>in their niche
Yeah, in an extremely tiny niche. Mages was acquired for $15 mil in 2020. That's fucking nothing.

>>713509647
It has been steadily getting worse and worse over the years. In 2018, Mary Skelter Nightmares, a Vita game with a typical Vitacore fanservice minigame, was released on Steam with zero alterations. I think that was also the year they took Evenicle, an actual eroge, also with no alterations. Senran Kagura games also released with no alterations through 2019. Then in 2020, they banned Evenicle 2 despite the content being the same or arguably tamer than the first game, but at least Gal*Gun Returns could still release unaltered in 2021. Then in 2022 Duel Princess got banned and Mary Skelter 2 had to have the Purge minigame removed to release on Steam. Said year also saw the infamous Chaos;Head Noah ban which caused enough of an outcry to get reversed. In 2023 Dungeon Travelers 2 got hard-banned even though it was based off of the censored western Vita version. And then in 2024 they hard-banned Tokyo Clanpool, a game very similar to Mary Skelter, even without its Ether Induction minigame, they have now stooped to banning all-ages VNs like Key/Prototype's Holy Undead, and Inti Creates says Gal*Gun can no longer be considered for release there. Judging by all this, 2020 was the turning point and they've been getting steadily worse each year.

>>713513239

>>713513672
In a perfect world. What'll probably happen if it doesn't just get forgotten about is they'll just throw a bone to BA specifically to calm them down then continue being annoying troons to everybody else as usual.

>>713491701
Not a single one. Nexon has a nice relationship with Valve and many of their games that they published have Valve collabs like Vindictus had a Half life 2 collab with a Combine mask/headcrab hat and crowbar weapon along with Counter Strike Nexon version on Steam. This isthe first time and honestly I want to see this "Mary" bitch get fucked considering how much of a cash cow Nexon published games are for Valve/Steam.

>>713485683 (OP)
How can a thing like this happen, realistically? I get a smaller game, but i think Nexon paid a fuckton to get BA on Steam, so why hasn't the person keeping this stall fired already?

>>713513069
anon you have to understand
people see those things and think "ohh, shiny feature, must buy!"
and then they buy it
and then it works like shit because pajeets coded it
and you complain
and the manufacturer laughs because he already has your money

nobody cares about quality now, i mean look at fucking who was it? toyota, subaru? that had their administrative page logins bypassed by hiding a div

If even the Nekopara publishers have now had contact, it might have just been a staffing issue.

>>713513861
bet it's a troon

>>713513951
I doubt it. Steam has enough employees to personally respond to most support tickets. Stonewalling a fucking dev is intentional

>>713491017
Mary's done shit. She is just gate keeping the vegetable audience. Mobile wise Blue Archive dominates Japan and has a very good global reach. Games like Nekopara are a low blow though. Banning prolific JP games while letting in the RPG maker WEG slop shit all over steam. Reminds me of when casino ads started popping up everywhere on the internet. Dark times for steam with selective gate keeping genres.

>>713513951
That would imply every game gets 1 singular wagie to handle it and nobody else can even see what's happening. That's a seriously disfunctioning system.

>>713513993
>95% likely it's a troon with a 'crusade'.

Nexon is a huge company and they literally distribute CS in Korea and Korean gacha game fans are psychotic, this could easily turn into a massive issue for Valve.

>>713513590
It accelerated worse when western AAA slop like Horizon Zero Dawn, AC Shadows, Dustborn, Dragon Age Veilguard, and Concord all bombed.
Stellar Blade and Black Myth Wukong way overperformed.
Gacha games like Genshin are raking in millions.
People are discovering Japanese games again too.

(((They))) want a monopoly on video games and media in general, and what best way is there but to ban your competition. Targeting ecchi games are first priority while pozzing big name Japanese franchises like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy with DEI nonsense so Capcom/Square don't make games anymore. We desperately need another video game crash.

where is a whistleblower when we need one

>>713514039
>Mobile wise Blue Archive dominates Japan and has a very good global reach
Only because they have Google/Apple stores to fall back on. Which is only relevant for gacha games. For retail otaku moege producers, losing Steam is a heavy blow, and it comes at the same time as losing Sony and Nintendo as well. At that point, what do they do? Even something as baseline as Neptunia is at serious risk now. Nintendo already effectively kicked it off their consoles by banning three out of four mainline games from a western release.

>>713514328
We need a big youtuber to make a video about it, sadly nowadays that's the only way to get something done.

>>713514328

It's crazy to think that one person at steam has pretty much killed and destroyed the small sized japanese developers because they cannot access steam where the chinese can easily buy their games and allow them to make new games.

>>713516625
As of yet, this is the only one, sadly. I thought that shupogaki will have something like that, but nope, they're just a damage dealer and a support that perfectly compliment each other, not even a special passive like Momoi/Midori. I suppose they deemed the experiment unsuccessful and don't want to come back to it, even though Iroha/Ibuki worked pretty well in Peroro (until bHosh started 1-turning torment).

Pride comes before a fall

>>713516554
is that a TIGER TANK??????????? NAZI

The TOS change and the web event containing shard selectors for day 1 2* students were obviously ment to align with Steam release following the countdown. It's surprising Nexon hasn't done anything severe to force a proper release date yet. Mary fucked them over hard, hope he finds out the price of fucking around soon.

>>713516887
Hoshino w/ arms is also another unit with a unique mechanic nobody else in the game has.

>>713516554
>dude a literal tank!
>shoots like a fucking peashooter

>>713517275
>web event containing shard selectors for day 1 2* students
Again? I already maxed them all out with the previous freebies. At least the farmable ones, who the last selectors were for. Do they offer ligma for newer students this time? Like Momiji.

>>713517275
even if this retard loses their job and an heroes I don't think that balances the ledger relative to the damage done to small Japanese developers and doujin game circles.
Sad, but I suppose that's life for you.

>>713517348

>>713517401
Nekopara timer has been reset recently, this could be possibly related to BA

>>713517412
arguably better, but still looks goofy as fuck, in a bad way

>>713513590
This sounds VERY targeted towards certain japanese releases.
I get new AI slop porn puzzle game with anime characters on the front page every week, but some obscure Vita port gets axed.
It really does smell like a single disgruntled employee going after specific games.

>>713517379
Still all farmable students.

>>713517581
Oh, Mari is new. I'll be dumping all my load in her.

Been saying this for some time but they need to start building their own steam

>>713517401
Don't they have store for doujin shit anyway ? why would japan dev prostitute themselve to retarded troon working at steam when all the foreigner otaku are piratechad anyway ?

>>713517379
I'm pretty sure those are the same ones from before, shards for Tsubaki, Serika, etc. They've obviously been maxed for years now and even in the long run those selectors are pretty useless since all of those students are farmable from like 3-4 stages each, but i guess it's kinda nice for someone literally starting the agame fresh. The boxes are labeled "2" so maybe somewhere down the line we get new ones for students like Momiji who even day 1 players don't have maxed but who knows.

>>713517538
nothing wrong with goofy as fuck tanks

>ITT retards that use ONLY steam for PC games
Come the fuck on now

>>713517671
Nexon DOES have their own game launcher, but for some reason BA is not on it.

>>713517739
anon, if i spawn a tank, i'd rather expect it to shoot like a tank, even if it looks goofy i want it to make an impact
this looks like a dumb toy

>>713517801
It's either Steam, or I pirate. I don't pirate Steam rips either though, because I don't want it messing with my legit Steam acc.

>>713517696
because, my dear ESL, as has been stated over and over and over again by these companies themselves, Johren and sites like it are not a replacement for the marketing, sales, reach, and installed player base of Steam.
Meaning when JAST has to sell a game on their own storefront and not Steam, they state they lose between 70-80% of sales.
That 30% cut is a pittance to sell that many more copies to people.
Then when you add it those Japo storefronts are not getting bodied by Visa and Mastercard, it tips the scales even harder to

>>713490336

>>713491321
NTA but they made a sequel to Rapelay that had a HUGE controversy on Steam

>>713517801
Like it or not, Steam is the definitive PC game platform even in asian countries now.
If a normie can't find a game on Steam that's one lost sale, which for smaller indie devs is a death sentence.

>>713507093
>cucktendo
they censor games. in japan too.
none of the 4 main storefronts are safe
>>713507312
more like (((digital storefronts))) are cancer and you should be able to buy straight from developers

>>713517864
Use GOG, itch.io, shit some devs offer their game direct on their own site like rimworld or factorio
And installing and running them is as simple as running the exe you zoomer

yep
sadly it didn't go as planned
waiting to see whats gonna happen now

>>713517943
No, they didn't. Some faggot ruskie made a super edgy WEG called RapeDay and it was spread everywhere by gaming media. The west probably love that it's mistaken for a Japanese game so they can justify their anti-Japan racism.

>>713517865
Retards like the poster immediately above you don't help anything either. Like it's so fucking hard to buy from a store that isn't Steam. Valve has basically turned PC into another console.

>>713518108
Yes, but it was by consumer choice and that's just how it goes sometimes.

>>713518024
There's a difference between something being the "definitive platform" and there being no alternatives at all though.
And like that other anon said, pirate games. God damn /v/ is a bunch of damn retards these days

>>713506287

When some other global (Chinese) alternative becomes mainstream. Good luck with that though, they'll pull same shit if they ever ascend to similarly dominant position as American CC companies.

>>713517865
NTA but the best selling game of all time, Minecraft, started on /v/ and Notch advertised it here back in the day.
I thought japs loved word of mouth marketing wtf happened?

This just ensures no more games of this kind will be made and that's what Valve wants.

>>713518278

>>713518378

TRVKE

>>713518210
because of the rich chinks touring internationally, a global chink alternative already exists, just that nobody is asking them even when they seem okay with adult content non-locally
but I agree with them eventually attempting to pull the same shit (see the Cybercrime Treaty)

>>713518447
Wtf is with nu-/v/ and having a complete meltdown when piracy gets brought up in any capacity these days.
Mfs Don't even check out the rest of the site, we have an entire board dedicated to pirating and torrenting shit you damn tourists.
And no I will not address your post as we all know you are making it in bad faith you nigger.

>>713518168
>pirate games
The whole topic is about how games can't get released and you're talking about piracy. Let me pirate this vaporware...
Also no in many cases there are no alternatives.
99% of people don't even know what a GOG is.

>>713518493
>I have no idea why they're not taking this censorship opportunity to go global
they rely on discovery for international transactions, which, surprise surprise, also threatened to boot JCB if they didn't do anything about the evul lawlees
they can't just launch globally because they'd need to build their own network, and (((banks))) won't work with them

>>713514752

The same publisher is going to bring Black Souls on Steam I bet there will be no issues there.

>>713518378
>christcucks are as irrelevant as ever.
Not when they are in charge of payment processing companies.

>>713518726
>would have

It's just a delay. Ultimately it will be resolved and the game launches. It's not just some jap doujinge shovelware.

>>713518598
I am simply stating facts. It's already a major blow to these publishers to lose access to Steam's install base, but when people like you just say "well if it's not on Steam, I'll just pirate it", it really kills any incentive developers have to keep making anything that might have the smallest chance of getting rejected from Steam. Such behavior only reinforces Valve's dominance and ability to gatekeep content they don't like.

>>713518619

As for steam as an advertisement platform. Cultivate a social media following and shill where you are selling it on social media platforms. People really need to take some marketing classes, Concord had the same shit issue of next to no advertising on top of being a shit GAAS game.
Point being you really don't NEED Steam, otherwise every console exclusive would flop completely. Or mobile game, which is what Blue Archive is rn.

>>713485683 (OP)
Does it matter anyway? Both are "baby's first anime game" games for weebs with normalfag taste. I thought we'd be done with the cunny fag spam by now, its not even a dogwhistle anymore as every weeaboo says it ironically as if they want to be part of le sekrit club.

>>713520114
What else can you even do in this situation? Class-action against Steam with other companies about their unfair review policy (assuming they don't have an arbitration clause somewhere lying around in all the hoops you have to jump through to sell a game on Steam)? Cry about it on twitter in the hopes that maybe one day 5 years from now eventually people will be able kick up enough of a fuss that Valve changes their Steam Support system? Sit around doing jack shit and hoping it'll all just blow over on its own and make a bunch of mid heavily watered down slop nobody cares about to sell on Steam which will end up selling about as well as not selling on Steam regardless?

>>713521015
>not even hiding the raging homosexuality anymore

I don't understand why games have to go through like 3 different review steps. First you have the laws of the region they're being sold in, then you have an unelected platform holder who gets to decide ontop of existing laws and lastly if some fucking twitter fags don't like your game they can also deplatform it with enough shit stirring. Like why the fuck do these people think that everyone should be able to control the lives of other people to this extend? Isn't that what section 230 was about? If you offer a platform you can't be held liable for law violations, but if you start censoring shit you become a publisher instead and every law violation is on you.

That thread doesn't say indefinitely cancelled you blind retard it says indefinitely DELAYED which is exactly what has happened.
