Put all these porn and hentai games into their own store

[The Dogfather]

I really wish Valve would spin off all these ridiculous porn and hentai games into a separate store. It can run off the same client but you have to actively click on the "adult games" tab to get into it. I am so tired of my discovery queue and the store putting this stuff in my face and trying to sell it to me despite me telling the store I have no interest in this rubbish. What is even the point of all this machine learning if the f-king machine isn't learning?

Obviously this would involve a little bit of curation on Valve's part to ensure the game gets into the right store but seriously how hard can this be? Most online shops have these features as standard.

I am no prude, and everyone is welcome to play what they want to play, but if I want porn, I go watch actual porn. Quite honestly it baffles me that any one would find any of this a turn on or even remotely interesting to play. But each to their on.

I don't have kids of my own but If I did Steam would probably end up getting uninstalled at this rate.

https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences/ go here, untick the Nudity and Sexual Content and the Adult Only Sexual Content. Most areas won't show them at that point (searches still will).

[The Dogfather]

I have done that yet they still creep through. Honestly it's like a bad joke.

I tell Steam I don't want to see X and Y and less of Z

And what do I get? More of X, more Y and a whole lot of Z.

See that sounds like there is something wrong with the feature then (or at least that said games aren't being correctly categorised) or that it doesn't apply to wherever you are looking. Which games are showing up for you? And where?

You can also filter the tags in your settings too

[Quint the Alligator Snapper]

A large number (but not all) of them are also tagged Visual Novel, so if you block that tag you might block a lot of them. (Though also, not all visual novels are smutty, so you'll miss out on seeing those that aren't, but you'll have to decide which is appropriate for you.)

Similar thing with the tag Anime, though that probably has somewhat less accuracy.

I have lost count how many of these cash grab hentai games keep popping up on my store front or in my discovery queue but recently this one was part of a Steam recommendation to me...WTF?

I agree with it very much. With all of this, Steam became a "dirty place"... Need a measure..

I also detest visual novels and have that tag set as well yet occasionally Steam will recommend that to me too. I swear Steam must be laughing at me.

...

> thing NOT tagged Visual Novel

Y'know this is why Valve should allow boolean expressions in exclusions.

I've seen a lot of threads saying "I don't want to exclude all X products or all Y products but I want to exclude those products that have both X and Y tags". An example applicable here is X = Visual Novel and Y = Sexual Content, or X = Anime and Y = Sexual Content.

Right now you can only exclude all X and all Y so you have a store view that has no X and no Y at all.

If only you could tell the system to exclude "X AND Y", as in include "NOT {X AND Y}", this would work a lot better.

Might be a new release that hasn't gotten that tag yet?

I am surprised a few religious nuts who believe in their fairy king in the sky haven't started petitions yet lol

Its really ridiculous! You should just ignore and move on and it's doesn't mean that you cant do that? Why you would give attention to it? Much easier to say that ur triggered that's all

[Pocahawtness]

Personally I think Valve has opened a vault of pain here. The thing is that many people don't want to censor their own accounts but some games are just so weird that they will offend. It's no good telling offended people to just ignore it, offended people grab pickaxes, torches and go hunt the monster and kill it. Valve needs to recognise that and do something before the people burn the village to the ground.

Ok let's put a manure in your room and ask you to just ignore it. Can you? well it depends on every individual if they can or not. The best way is to don't risk anything and remove the problem (manure) in the first place, to make the room a clean place. (Dark Example, I know.)

That time of the month again, I see... The "anime complaints" time.
