Porn is not allowed. Games with mild nudity and suggestive content are.

Hentai is not allowed, because it's literally porn.

So what is allowed, isn't hentai.

Ugh newer mind.
though he mean those anime games.

Some people call Playboy porn. Some people call ANY new classic paintings porn and lewd. Some people consider the old statues of David or Aphrodite lewd or porn.

These people would most certainly think the anime sexually suggestive games on steam are porn. Since they are even more crudely humoured and sexually overt than any of the above things.

But, clearly Valve/Steam disagrees and allows highly sexually suggestive content. Nudity. Even Nudity with sexual teasing content. Valve does not seem to think those things are porn. However, Steam doesn't allow games that are actually porn (by whatever definition Valve uses for porn). But probably things like graphic penetration and such would be over the line.

So you can report those and something will likely be done.

If its just the sexually suggestive/lingerie/nude-teasing games without actual "sex" in them... then just block "Visual Novels" or "anime" term in your Steam preferences and you shouldn't see those things anymore.

Well that is my thoughts/understanding anyway

Games with Hentai in their name on steam does not actually contain any Hentai since Steam does not allow porn.
It is mild nudity and suggestion at best(Ecchi), but i guess they use it in the games name for stupid gamers to buy them waiting to see real Hentai.
It's a cash grab playing on some gamers gullibility.

So you can't look it up because you're on your "work wifi" but then your IT department is going to see that you've been participating in online discussions about Hentai. Hmmm.

but valve clearly stated there are no clear rules on what is and isnt allowed on the steam store. asides from things meant to troll or cause harm.

OR illegal.
Have you even read the full post?
It basicly say's nothing really changed. Porn, in this case Hentai as is OP's question is still not allowed on Steam.

And you left out the illegal part.

Selling adult material such as Hentai and Porn to minors would be illegal in the US and most other countries.

The issue is people are reading it the way they want to see it and not how it may actualy be.

But isnt there an age gate to sign up for steam in the first place??? It is up to the users discretion not steams

not stating anything just saying what it sounds like

It isn't though. There are laws that have to be followed, especialy for the sale of such material.

To create a Steam account you need to be 13 or older as a anyone under can not be bound to such an agreement.
