>Your preferences are configured to warn you about this kind of mature content.

NO THEY ARE NOT

This is so annoying, I already set my preferences to allow all types of mature content but I still get age-gated and get this "warning" message whenever I go to the relevant game store page, its so annoying, is there any way to fix this or is it a bug on Steams end?

[Doomchild]

Yep, that's mind-bogglingly annoying.

I noticed this message:

"* Apparently your birth date is required to access certain products by your local rating agency. This data is for verification purposes only and cannot be stored on our servers. We're sorry :("

just above the one you quoted. So they know it sucks, but (by law) they have to ask each time.

[LastTigerEyes]

Better than them storing personal information like Facebook etc. though, I guess?

Imagine selling a game as 18+ then asking your age every time you want to look at it ha

Agreed. Just let us check a box a ♥♥♥♥ this ♥♥♥♥ off. How long is it going to take for them to pull thier thumbs out of arses and do something about this? It's been years.

Imagine going to porn site, logging in with a username and password, entering a code from a 2-step verification app on your phone only to still be greeted by an age verification screen before each video.

This being not a porn site, your logic is a little flawed. Individual items on this site are mature-only. Not the entire site.

Been asked soooooo many times that Valve even made a Q&A for it...

Q: Why do you KEEP asking my damn age throughout the store?

A: We're with you on this. Unfortunately, many rating agencies have rules that stipulate that we cannot save your age for longer than a single browsing session. It's frustrating, but know we're filling out those age gates too.

I am the user. I have logged in. I have used an app on my phone to double check that it is actually me who is logging in and not somebody else who has my login information. So, we have established that I am me. Being that is the case, my date of birth is in my account records. So too is the check box which says that I'm fine with mature content. Yet before viewing mature content I am met with an age verification screen.... Again, to reiterate: with full knowledge and confidence that the correct person is using the account, that the account holder is of age and has signed off for mature content. On the other hand, the porn site(s) I referred to in my analogy do not require a login at all to view the 'mature-only' content. Logging in is optional, let alone having 2 Factor Authorisation and account preferences.

It's your logic which is flawed, mate. I hope using smaller words helped you to understand. If you still think you're right, skip the reply and go get your head studied by a professional.

From 2018. It's 2020 and we're still putting up with it.

"we" are still visitors on a site that is intended for all ages 13+, not 18 or other arbitrarily higher 'mature audience' viewers.

You not liking this doesn't mean they will change it. Your answer is presented to you, it's not going to change.
