Uncensored version within the censored version?...

[Minotaur]

While messing with my steam folder, as usual, I found that within the steam/steamapps/common/Loren Amazon Princess folder, there's a "Loren Amazon Princess" folder (next to 'game', 'lib', etc...) that seems to include the Uncensored version (you get the 'suggestive content on/off' option). However, the version is 1.2.7 while the official Steam version is 1.2.8...

Is this 1.2.7 version the full uncensored version of the game?...
Are there a lot of changes between the 1.2.8 and 1.2.7 versions?...

Naw people just troll and lurk steam forums now just to find reasons to ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan and this is just one example.

I'll just buy this one direct. Only person I approve of censoring my content, is myself by not buying it or avoiding it. Oh well no steam cut for them. Win/Win for the developer and the customer.

Censorship, denying history and reality to be sadistic control freaks. Where are all the sophisticated adult and mature games? Seems parents and governments are happy to abandon their duties when it comes to advising and raising their children, and create an environment of misconception and fear mongering, to stiffle how we think, and express ourselves.
Down with the unwanted middle men, and social nonsense based on ad hominem attacks. WE are more than the films we watch, music we listen to, games we play, and books we read. Infact, we probably have a better grasp of reality and technology than the people who see it as their duty to safe gurad the world from interlectually stimulating media. Boo! Hiss! Shame on them! And shame on you for not caring!

It's all ESRB fault. Many games have sex on Steam like The Witcher 2 or others but since those are triple A games they can afford the money for their game to be rated, yet an indie developer can't.

I just tried something... Download demo > Install demo in steam library folder > Run demo > Auto Detect full version of Game > Quit

Copy contents of Demo folder into Original Steam install Folder > Start in Steam > It seems to work > Play with Risque content in Steam...

I think steam is a little bit too crazy about having no Erotic. They should not sell Hentai or stuff like this here, but a little bit of humble romantic erotic content (like in this game) should bother no one. Well just my opinion. I stick with the original game, which i bought from the Publishers homepage myself.

Considering that Steam has no problem selling the Witcher series, I don't get why they needed to censor this.

Valve has no problem selling the Witcher on Steam because it has an ESRB rating.
Getting an ESRB rating takes time, effort, and resources that are easily disposable to a relatively large development house like CD Projekt Red when developing a new game.

It's a lot harder to get one when you're a small-time indie dev who's just putting an old game on a new store, especially when you're already busy working on newer titles.

[HolyFarglesnot]

If you buy the game on steam, start a game, than save it, you can download the demo and it will instantly read the unlocked save and unlock everything for you.

[HolyFarglesnot]

Then, you can use the "non-steam" version of the game as you please.

Still even if it takes time, it's a problem.

I haven't played the uncensored version, but if in the censored I didn't noticed anything explicit, there's clearly many implicit elements relatively hot, it's not hard, more soft but somehow hot.

Clearly The Witcher or even DAO can be a lot more hot and quite explicit in some parts but they have ESRB. For now it relies on Steam to accept games without ESRB and I doubt it will ever change, but for games like Loren it can become problems.

Steam doesn't have a problem with adult content. The issue is that they'll get in legal trouble if they put that stuff out without the official ratings on, and going through the whole rating process is expensive for an indie developer.
Steam says you can either put a game up with adult content and a Mature rating, or a clean, moral guardian-friendly game and they'll waive the whole rating process. Winter Wolves decided to save money by putting up a version without the uncencoring option, and then they put simple instructions for playing the full game anyway with a few seconds effort (and Steam allowed them to put these instructions on their forums).
Thus the people who think nudity is evil don't see any, anybody who actually wants to can see everything after 30 seconds on google, the devs and distributors make money, and everybody wins.

Except for the people who are just looking for something to whine about. They never win.
