Very disappointed in Steam for selling Porn games.

[Win2000Fan]

I am showing my granddaughter my Skyrim game on steam. Mind you I haven't been here in awhile. We exit out of the game and I show her where it is in the steam store. Right there before our/her eyes are several porn games with young woman with very, way over and unreal, unnatural sized body areas, if you know what I mean. Now how do I hide from her on a family site? Sorry for my past memory failure but I thought this was a family place? I thought Steam had set guide lines years ago to not go in this direction? I know the owners, and stock holders of Steam no longer read this stuff but the rest of us do. Am I the only mature male offended this or are there others? Last, let me say Steam you are taking big chances dealing with these kind of people. Porn sites are loaded with viruses. Why would you ever go in this direction? You should be ashamed. Really!

How? How do adult games invite viruses any more then the thousands of low effort trash games that are released each month?

You do not want to go there with me on this subject. I use to be in computer repair years ago and I can tell you horror stories about infected computers I had to clean due to porn sites and viruses. Some computers where not reparable and needed hard drive replacement with a new operating system. Very common for those that porn.

Not that you'll read this apparently but this is a typical expert claim. What you're forgetting is your 'expert' judgement is skewed. Like being a policeman you see all the worst case scenarios on a regular basis so you think they're the majority not the minority.

The one recent case of a Steam game coming loaded with a virus (because the dev was careless with their security) was not an adult game.

There is no issue, as long as you keep the default setting, no porn games will show, you'd have to opt in to see the adult games.

ive never seen a porn game on the steam store before. really like never. has to be user error.

Very disappointed in dirty Grandpa, choosing to opt in to be shown adult material and then showing it to minors.
Why did you go in that direction?

That's the problem, very much younger person than me, I opted out many years ago. This is why you do not do business and have these people around because they do not care. It is what they are. Besides isn't this site family oriented?

No, you opted IN. You are opted out by default.

So congrats, you got caught in the lie

[NuLife]

Probably wanted to see those adult skyrim mods maybe "all those years ago"?!?

[Bllasae]

This isn't a family site. Why don't you have a seat right over there?

Heh, its comedy really, next they will be selling guns to people looking to kill CEO's, oh wait, welcome to america.

What you can do is contact your political, welfare, and trading standards systems, if you are not in a 3rd world country, make a complaint and try to enforce that products created for children should not be on sale side by side with pornographic material.

Remember it only takes a movement of sensible people to hold back the insanity of businesses free movement.

Except they aren't sold side by side. THey are by default only visible to those who elect to make them visbile via a setting that parents have control over. And lets face it m8. If a kid wants to see porn they're gonna see porn and they don'ty need steam to see it.

A bare midriff or a pair of bare legs is not pornography. A kiss scene is not pornography. If you unticked the two last options in your store preferences you are NOT seeing games with adult sexual content.

Unless you're amish. :P

Not everything that isn't NSFW is for children. Acting like such is dishonest.

The only thing in common between adult entertainment and specifically created pornographic content is age restraints and that is maintained by each countries laws on product sales.

Suggesting that adult rated content is the same as pornographic content is a complete misunderstanding of whats being discussed.

Except they aren't side by side. To gain access to sexually explicit content, one must manually disable two filters in the store preferences which are turned on BY DEFAULT.

"Sensible people" don't go around deactivating the safeguards in place to protect minors from such content. They certainly don't go and show their grand kids the content knowing such safeguards are not in place anymore and they don't blame others for their lack of common sense.

I never suggested that. U like some who suggested if it isn't NSFW, then it's for children.

Also, over 90% of the games in Steam don't have an age rating.

True. Pronography is a subset of adult rated content. Adult rated also concerns depictions of violence, blood, gore etc.

Point is. Steam sells internationally and where required it will outright block such content from the consumer. See germany and CHina.

Otrherwise. they leave it up to the parents anjd the individual.
