Will Death Stranding be banned because of new Steam rules?

[VB Driver]

It's an adult, mature game, with human actors, just like this one:

You can report games on their page if they're against the rules, but this is a user forum, so you're not going to get a specific answer here.

Or you just hate good-looking women and go full leftist Sony california censorship?

Is Death Stranding a porn game featuring real humans? No? Then it does not fall under this policy.
Maybe READ the stuff you link. Steam does not allow pornographic games with real human actors, period.
Thats not new, thats the case since they allow adult games on their store. (2018).
Just because these 2 titles slipped through the cracks because they are from a time before that policy was introduced does not exempt them from it.

OP makes a lot of controversial comments. Best to just point them in the right direction.

I am so confused tho, I've seen that game around before and as far as I can tell there was no pornography in the game?
There are countless of games on Steam with fictional women in bikinis and even games that are pornographic depicting sexual violence and all kinds of horrible stuff.
But real women in bikinis are too much?

That's honestly kinda messed up and genuinely misogynistic whatever you may think about the game.
Women in bikinis or underwear ≠ porn, and I've seen similar games with real men in underwear too.

Edit: The game looks like ♥♥♥♥, this isn't about the quality of the game or whatever.
Just consistency and clear rules, the game clearly isn't pornography now that I look up more about it.
You could call it a bit erotic at most but that's about it.

Also, me pointing this out doesn't mean that I don't think that the OP is a moron.
It's just about setting personal opinions and views aside and trying to be consistent.

The game has full nudity including visible genitals and is marked as "adult only" on the Steam Store.
That classification is only for adult sexual content games.
The developer itself marked the game as such and so Steam treats it like that.
And their rule for "adult sexual content" games is, "no real humans".

Of course its a bis questionable in this case since the game in question has been on the store for many years and is obviously a parody and not really meant to sexually arouse anyone.
But Steam being a bit unclear about their own rules is nothing new by now.

I think "technically" the game falls under that rule but could also easily get a exception because of the circumstances.

Badass Babes got banned? Seriously? It was a pretty solid game :(

[cinedine]

This site is pure click-bait and trolling. It's known for outright lying, it conveniently leaves out facts that don't fit their narrative and is soley designed to create a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over nothing and go viral. It's a remnant of the worst MRA BS during "gamersgate".
And the guy behind it is even worse.

[secuda]

There are no two differense between Deathstranding and that game OP is pointing out, becide that game that was banned where kinda crap looking comparing to Death strandings.
But the joke is on op if he cant see the differense between those.

[ShadowAngel]

Killing thousands of human NPCs in the most violent, torturous ways imaginable = No Problem
A bit of skin and/or depicting a natural act any normal human does at least a few times per week = OMG! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN IT!
In 2020....

I mean looking at the screenshots of the banned games: It's something you see on Beaches here in Europe every summer (or here in munich at the Isar because nudists are everywhere and it's perfectly legal) just the same and nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about it either.

We do live in very sad times.

And? I have some too but are they REAL actors?
I doubt it. All the VR porn games on Steam are with made up characters, completely artificial.
The problem with the 2 games that got banned is that they used real porn actresses.

This is nonsense. Bad Ass Babes was actually on my wishlist because it reminds me a lot of the title Pit Fighter from arcades back in the day (the style).

I almost picked it up during the Xmas sale but there was other stuff I wanted more.

This perturbs me. There was no "X" nudity in that game of which I am aware.

What the actual ♥♥♥♥ is going on around here with the censorship lately? What the ♥♥♥♥ is going on?

All of the library complaints and all of that, not my issues, but I get it.

This kind of thing IS my issue. This kind of thing WILL get me looking to buy stuff elsewhere.

This is the worst kind of pointless and mindless censorship. This is in the realm of banning ring girls, and models in adverts for sensibilities that I cannot fathom.

Seriously; been here since essentially day 1. Especially displeased by this news and what it portends.

Simple answer, no.

[Cathulhu]

Not sure why they game should get banned, when Valve actually does a crosspromotion with Half-Life.

OAG and game devs that have their games removed both never tell the full story as to what the true reason for removal is.
