Why is steam turning into an anime porno shop

[Totes McGoats]

Serious non troll question here. I went into the steam store today and have 3 anime adult games targeted at me.

I don't care if you guys like money, I personally love money. But I come here to spend my money on games not hentai and early access garbage.

I see more of these topics than I see those games.

I noticed another 100+ reply discussion after I posted mine. I think my point stands on it's own merits.

Does steam really need to be a hentai marketplace?

That's just a small amount of what's on steam. People can sell and play whatever they want. I personally ignore those games but you can change your settings if you aren't mature enough to do that.

You can set your preferences to not show them in your front page. They'll still show up in the new releases tab at the bottom though.

As for recommendations, Steam will only recommend you Anime games if you bought anime games, or any game tagged as "Anime".

It need not. But is that a pertinent question to ask? What, in fact, does a store need to be? Do the titles under discussion fit within those bounds?

if it was up to me i would allow literally any type of game to be published on here

I disagree. Games that are illegal shouldn't be sold on a public platform. That said, there's nothing wrong with some stupid game made for some loser to please himself to.

you only see the adult games if you turn it on. so you really can't complain if you do that. that is why a lot are hidden in that. there are other non adult games as well which you can filter them out. why you might not like them other people do. who are you to judge what others like? i don't tell people who play rpgmaker games to go elsewhere or furry or games like call of duty.

illegal games and ones that break laws yeah that won't ever happen.

[Paratech2008]

Why does this bother you at all? If you don't like them don't play them. If you're worried about your child seeing this stuff set up your or the account they use to not display them. If that does not work for a kid you have try, I don't know, turning off the computer sitting down and hitting them.

That's a valid point thanks for bringing it up. I don't have any kids, I'm 41 and living the dream.

What I'm concerned with is far more nuanced than some hand wringing religious / moral / personal issue with hentai. I really don't care about the content my concern is that the steam store is filled with blatantly horrible early access games and tentacle porn. It's harder and harder each year to find something decent on here.

People have mentioned the filtering and yeah I know it's a thing. It's also hard not getting decent content stuck in the filter - that's the reason why mine is off right now.

I'll put this a different way. When you sell quality content people will know that you are trustworthy and worth a look. When you sell low quality to scam content people get burned, frustrated and ultimately look for competitors. Epic is a huge competitor right now and bluntly I see them putting some major pain on steam in the near future if valve leadership doesn't see the light and stop acting like a monopoly flea market selling $5 shareware disks.

I've been on steam since the promo way back in the day when the first game (I dare say half life 2) was first installed with the steam client as a requirement. I wish the platform well and it's mostly treated me well but times are changing.

OP

Please allow me to teach you a little time management.

Dont make a fuss just turn the page as no one period stroke period owes you a shopfront tailored to your personal tastes.
Steam tries to but as yet its not perfect.
