No offence intended but Valve isnt there to do the babysitting for you.
Imho its already bad enough when instead of actually having a real dialogue with your kid you want to put up artificial barriers to do the parenting for you. (ever heard of the phrase about the forbidden fruit?) but then again thats just me *shrugs* not gonna get into a debate about this.
Personally I grew up playing quake 3 and other so called mature games, yet I managed to have a decent and happy childhood, because my parents spent time with me instead of istting me down in front of a computer.
The more you want to bar away a child from playing something, the harder they will try and find their way around it, but I would think this is painfully obvious for anyone for anyone with kids
PS: in order to register a steam account you "officially" need to be 13+ year old, so yes, they indeed arent exactly catering to kids as is rather than starting from young teenagers.
Steam has an unmitigatable browser. There is no way to filter or block the Steam browser. No child has any business being able to surf for porn unsupervised. You made a lot of assumptions, and aren't speaking with wisdom. A child of 7 is not given a gun to take to school, or allowed to drive a car. They aren't capable of handling either situation, and shouldn't be expected to. It was never about the games.
Once again
YOU are the parent, not Steam. YOU are the on in control of such, not them
