Separate Steam for porn games

[TangOscar]

For excample; A second steam browser, or tab, which only shows those adult games. If you deactivated that feature in the settings, you will not be confronted with the unwanted content and browse the steam shop.

Another option would be, to make a separate steam for those games. The advantage is, that the regulations is easier to handle -propably.

Or simply opt out of seeing such games. Why opt into seeing them if they offend you that much?

I've always been in favour of there being a separate store front for adult games. Steam's filters are not yet accurate enough as enabling the filter often stops me seeing games that don't have sexual content.

To me BR and multiplayer shooter/survival games are unwanted games. Can we please put those games in a seperate storefront too?

It isn't a problem for me, it isn't about to use the opt out option eithwr. I just came up with this idea, because with a seperate steam, you don't need a low budget filter which shows you those games (as Zergem mentioned it) , because the tags are not correct. You don't have to opt out/in of something. All those erotic games accessable by that separated steam tab.

Or you opt out of the porn games. COnsidering one actually has to Opt-in to see them, your complaint is rather odd.

If the filter hides games that are inaccurately flagged as having sexual content(not that I've seen that other than some people's idea of adult content being different than others), what makes anybody think that hiding those games behind a separate storefront would stop it from putting games inaccurately flagged as adult into that second storefront?

If the tags are not correct, then report them as such.

Adult games are flagged by the developer when submitting them to Steam. If they are adult games and not correctly flagged as such, then use the report option on the game's store page and Valve will check it out.

I know it is odd, and sounds useless. It is more of a management aspect, and rules and such.

In case it is inaccurately flagged as an adult game, it can't be flagged as such, because there isn't such a flag in the normal steam. Sure, if you don't flag an adult game as such, you have that content in the wrong section, but the filter can't make errors and show such a game, even it is flagged as such.

How long does it take for Steam to correct it? I don't know, how Steam works in this case, waituntil there are enough reports, or with the first report it is put on the list?

It will be put in que with any number of reports. They may have some priority system in place as well, to catch major issues (ie: Harmful programs/software, ect) but they do look into all of them at some point.

Thank you for this answer. So it can be fast, or take a long time.
What I have in mind now is, in case it takes longer, many people could get angry about that, and and start posting in the discussions, instead of reporting it.

Then if you see that, suggest to them that they report it on the game's store page.

Education on how to correctly deal with such issues is the key.

A related question, if I may?
Is there a guide for users / developers on how to properly tag games? Seems to me that there are a great many mis-tagged games here on Steam. For example, a game in which there may be a view of a girl in a bikini, gets tagged as "Sexual Content". If a girl in a bikini is tagged as "Sexual Content", then what tag does a game with actual sexual content get?
I've read somewhere that tags are assigned by users - seems there's too many 5-year-old users online without parental supervision, putting "Sexual Content" tags everywhere....

Tags are user generated, correct. You are free to report the tag as they have a flag when you hover over them.

I'll keep that in mind. Ty

I'll just copy-and-paste the "catch all" post I did in another thread. Hopefully someone here will find it helpful.

I don't want to use the "adult only" filter because it will get rid of games like GTA V:

Don't use the "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter, use the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter, instead. "Nudity or Sexual Content" is a much broader filter that will target those types of games. The "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter is more precise and will only get rid of games with the "adult only" banner on their store pages.

And, no, do not think that because you have the "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter enabled you don't need to enable the "adult only" filter. The "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter is not meant to take care of the "porn” games, as such not only will it get rid of games that aren't porn, but it's possible that you will still see "porn" games with it enabled.

I have the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter enabled and I'm still seeing "porn" games:

First off, is the box next to the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter checked or unchecked? Checked means the filter is disabled, unchecked means the filter is enabled.

Next, do the games you are seeing have the "adult only" banner on their store pages? If the answer is "no" then the filter is working as intended. What you are most likely seeing are not "porn" games, but rather just fanservicey and on the lewd side games.
Games that would fall into this category are games like the Sakura series. These games are not porn, nor should they be labeled porn or else the fear some people have of non "porn" games being filtered out by the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter may become an actual problem.

So, what can you do if you want to get rid of those types of games? Try excluding the "anime" and/or "Visual Novel" tag(s); I've heard that tends to work.
