Thread 721068004

How do you get out of this situation, /v/?

>>721068004 (OP)
The characters dont have the face shape of consent, so not much the dev can do other than redo all the art.

>>721068004 (OP)
If its a pedo game why dont they sue you tho?

>>721068004 (OP)
Submit it to dlsite instead

>>721068004 (OP)
you don't steam doesn't re-review games (unless if you are a big publisher where you can even put porn in your game without getting flagged for it)
DL site and itch is really your only other option.

Monetizing porn games is some kind of Dante'ian hell unless you make the most vanilla shit

>we will not release games that depict sexual conduct involving a minor
>releases cyberpunk 2077 that has an entire building dedicated to people making CP BDs
HMMMMM

>>721068004 (OP)
I'd not try to release an adult game on steam and just do a patreon grift where I dripfeed content for 10+ years instead before abandoning it in an unfinished state

can't you just upload it without that content, then patch it in?

>>721069976
not anymore

>>721068004 (OP)
Why didn't they just make them college students?

>steam doesn't re-review games
It's actually nuts that a single person can decide that kind of thing with 0 oversight and no appeal process.

>>721070594
they're reasoning is bullshit too when Nekopara 2 with the NSFW DLC that contains loli sex is on Steam. It's literally just an assmad woman seething at a le problematic game. Guarantee if the reviewer was a dude he wouldn't give a shit.

>>721070235
I read that article and it's misleading because fucking obviously you can't upload a game then release an update ON STEAM which changes the content to banned content.

It doesn't say you can't upload a patch on another website which uncensors the game. That's policing off-website actions, which Steam is not doing.

>>721071050
>obviously you can't upload a game then release an update ON STEAM which changes the content to banned content
see >>721070594
You could before. Nekopara 2 has a DLC ON STEAM that adds banned content.

>>721071170
i didn't even know developers were doing this.
it should've always just been off-website patches.

>>721071170
Meant to tag >>721070913, but it's obvious.

>Kisha
ohhhhhhhh...

>>721070913
Evenicle is also on Steam, while Evenicle 2 got banned, despite them having the exact same type of content.
Also Dungeon Travelers 2 and 2-2 don't have any underage characters but got banned because the anime style art makes them look young.
It's ridiculous.

>>721071050
>It doesn't say you can't upload a patch on another website which uncensors the game
This is what some japanese H-game did when released on GOG before they started adding it as free uncensoring DLC on gog itself. I dont see any reaso why they cant do this other than visa telling steam to enforce that too

>>721068004 (OP)
Did they hire a new Mary?
Fucking women messing with my vidya i swear

>>721073014
No this time it's just regular jews messing with it

>>721068004 (OP)
more jewish crap. fuck steam and fuck the retards who buy from them. pirate. dont give money to these filthy kikes.

>>721068004 (OP)
>For instance, setting your game in a high-school but declaring your characters are all of legal age would be banned.

why the fuck is class of '09 allowed? it's a high school VN where the underaged cast fuck each other's dads, give people footjobs, and get sold into sex slavery

I hope kirk's death moves everyone to push these fags away

>>721073521
it's not japanese and made a lot money

>>721071170
>>721071253
the first problem with that approach is that you can't advertise it. Neither the explicit content nor that there is a lewd patch in the first place.
It also takes some effort to make a sfw version of a porn game that isn't complete shit.
Think of that Sereka flasher game. Making a sfw exhibitionism game would be weird as fuck.

You might get in trouble if your game actually becomes popular and everyone kind of knows it's a porn game. Maybe Steam itself doesn't care, but you still get fucked if MC/Visa, local media age rating services or just a twitter mob gets wind of it.

It's seemingly random what games get accepted when we just got https://store.steampowered.com/app/3155290/Hold_Me_Tight_All_Night_Oniichan/

>>721068004 (OP)
>noooo everyone in high-school MUST be underage
There are literal 18 year olds at real schools, it's not a kindergarten

>>721070913

A woman should never be allowed to even look at a game made for men.

>>721077023
the new age of consent is 21

>>721077023
>illiterate retard purposely misinterprets a statement just so he can be mad

>>721073413
brb gonna buy some more game on steam, hail Gabe!

>>721073413
>pirate
you are mainly hurting the devs. Like steam actually gives a shit about losing out on $3 for some niche porn game.
Fucking troglodyte retard

Reminder that this insistence of gatekeeping absolutely all sexual concepts from those under the "age of consent" while simultaneously increasing said age is actually a ploy to make them MORE vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Real sex education and experience helps prevent them from being taken advantage of, but they're being discouraged from ever exploring it before it's too late.

>>721078721
it has nothing to do with that

two groups want to increase the age of consent and desex women:

1. jews
because it doubles the workforce, adding much more obedient and compliant workers who don't unionize or go on strike as much as men.
and also because it lowers birth rates among whites.

and

2. women
because women deeply, bitterly envy women who are younger and more attractive than themselves, and wish to eliminate them as competition.

>>721068004 (OP)
Say the game is lgbt friendly.

>>721068004 (OP)
be more creative. this is steam telling you that your game lack creativity. you can censor in a way that adds instead of removes. look at avatar last airbender, kids show with mature themes.

>>721079256
what the fuck are you talking about schizo
in no universe would ATLA get denied from steam, it has zero sexual elements

>>721068004 (OP)
Kagura Games and Otaku Plan already made this a solved game, nigger. Just USE YOUR GODDAMN BRAIN.

>>721068004 (OP)
>Resubmissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted
Why doesn't Steam allow a retry?
It's actually bullshit that they don't give people a chance to actually work with them and conform to whatever their issue with the game is.

>make a /d/ game
>complain it doesn't get past steam censor
hahahha your game a shit anyway

>>721079586
How dare you insult my 0.002 weg. My goblinas are the prettiest hogs around and my ren'py dialogue is both intriguing and tasteful.

>>721075656
Ero Dungeons isn't Japanese either.

>>721079530
Because the issue was whatever the reviewer in question felt like at the time, and it's literally impossible to clarify what those feelings were after the fact. As such, being challenged on it threatens the very validity of the original judgement, and as such all decisions are final, no questions asked. Just think: if it were possible to simply change their minds then there'd be no point in having a submission process in the first place.

ATLA got struck down at Nick until their black head guy told them to alter it.
