Why is there so much porn on steam

[Dragonitemail]

This is stupid, like if it had actual gameplay then its whatever. Instead I sort by lowest price and there is just an unreal number of "games" called "hentai X" or whatever. Its straight up porn and probably stolen porn at that. Steam seemed to be purging low quality vaporware games but why not these?

[Sazzouu]

Give an example of a game of such that does not deliver actual gameplay.

And Steam never bans "low quality vaporware" just because they are low quality but for example the developers were offensive to the community (such as gamebans for no reason) or games delivered offensive and sometimes illegal content such as "<Bad word for human violation> Simulator".

that is not 100% true. i have adult games hidden and a filter to avoid anime games, still i sometimes see either of them on my storepage or in the discovery queue.

Basically because they are based off of Store Tags such as "Hentai", "Sexual Content" and such and of course "indie developers" know this and start "forgetting" to tag their games propperly

[Jape]

why not?

[Judgmental Amaterasu]

You're searching by the lowest price. That is where old games and quick cash grabs from asset flipping developers hang out.

Also games don't get "purged" because they're low quality. The games and their devs get purged for blatantly breaking the rules set out by steam

You know those tags are user generated right? That's why crappy meme games involving battle grounds and naked anime women get tagged as "mmorpg" or "story-driven"

People like porn.

It's fascinating how people opt into seeing such games and then act offended that Steam shows them such Adult Only games.
A category which must be enabled and is disabled by default.

I said it once and I am saying it again...
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/tags
Paragraph "Applying Tags"

No they are not entirely usergenerated. Users can set tags that is true but developers can always decide whether they want to keep or they want drop tags PLUS they can always set their own tags. I corrected you in a different thread on that one already

You can always out stuff you don't want.

Problem with the filter for that is that if you do filter out sexual content, then AAA games like Cyberpunk and Witcher would be hidden as well, so you can only hide them if you're willing to also not see bunch of actual good games.
I don't mean to say "well if you're bothered by nudity etc, then not seeing them as well is fine", I'm just guessing that you want to not see trash games like some nude anime puzzle games but would like to see AAA games. I hope Steam does something about it, because I too would like get rid of those trash games.
I actually did "ignore" them for a while, but really it doesn't help, it's like a swarm so I just gave up in the end.

There are multiple levels you can hide "Nudity or Sexual Content" is where Witcher etc are under yes, but one more down you find "Adult Only Sexual Content", and this is the category where you find straight up porn game. So yes either OP have explicitly told steam to show porn games, or the much more likely explanation, that OP sees anime games, and assumes all anime games are porn games (lots of ppl seem to do that, but ofc that is not true at all)

Stop searching for it.
The steam algorithm keeps track of what your interested in, so pops up games related to what you have viewed. If you stop viewing "the offensive games" (mammy?) then other games will show up instead.

Because you're looking for it.

Where else should we buy our NSFW games? Flash games are very limited, but on steam there's so much good stuff.

IndieGala carries a number of them that don't show up on Steam.
