Response to the uncensored game's approval has been mixed.

It's still possible for children to click on unfiltered results to see the NSFW games, and they can easily click through to view the sexual game pages. There isn't an option to block certain types of games in the store - the filtering system only hides them from Steam store lists. The family view mode leaves parents only one way to block children from accessing sexual games on the Steam store, which is to turn off access to the store entirely. Steam's parental controls, however, seem ill-equipped to deal with the new mature content. Negligee: Love Stories currently has a pop-up adult content warning, but strangely no age warning. Again, users can opt-out of this feature in Steam preferences. Users also automatically receive pop-up warnings when they click on content that contains violence or sexual content. It's worth noting that extreme mature content only appears in the Steam store if users tick an option called 'adult only sexual content' in their Steam preferences. This therefore raises questions about what Valve defines as pornography.īut how, exactly, does Valve's filtering system work with content like this? From looking at Negligee: Love Stories' Kickstarter page, and its Steam store description, it appears the game contains some hardcore sex scenes. The approval of Negligee: Love Stories seems to suggest Valve continues to view 'allow everything' as a way to avoid this sort of criticism.ĭespite this new approach, Valve still lists pornography as one of the things 'you shouldn't publish on Steam'.

The new laissez-faire approach was partly a response to the outcry surrounding Valve's approval of Active Shooter (a school-shooting simulator), along with accusations Valve was trying to censor adult visual novels on the platform. This comes in the wake of Valve's June announcement it would 'allow everything on Steam' apart from 'straight up trolling'.

Players who wanted to view the full sexual content previously had to download external patches to do so.Īccording to developer Dharker Studios, the game was recently submitted for review following Valve's content filter update, and has now been approved for uncensored release on the 15th of September. The game in question, Negligee: Love Stories, was originally approved for release on the condition it censored hardcore sex scenes. It seems this update has paved the way for more adult content, as a hentai game has now been approved for uncensored release on Steam. Last week, Valve unveiled new content filters for Steam to give users the 'tools to find the games want, as well as avoid the things don't'.
