Developer/Publisher Hubs Showing NSFW Previews Despite Filter Settings
This isn’t a huge issue, but I noticed that if you browse the
Developer & Publisher Homepages while having adult or sexual content excluded in your store preferences, you can still be shown uncensored sexual content on these pages.

For example, if you visit this studio’s page:
https://store.steampowered.com/curator/37430609-Lovely-Games-Studios/

Their featured games show explicit content playing in the preview thumbnails despite that normally, the store page would censor this based on your filter settings.
I don't see why the sexual content preference doesn't extend to the visible developers/publishers on this page.
Personally, I think a better fix would to just make these studios hidden from the developer/publisher discovery page for people who have the sexual/adult content filter enabled.

Report the store page.

Bring this up with support, that's a bug not a feature suggestion type thing.

I don't see any explicit sexual content on that page. Adult only games have "safe" versions of their screenshots and the logo of the game cannot contain anything "unsafe". I don't see any violations of that rule here.

Turning off the adult filter puts the "hidden by filter settings" thing on some games but still is showing full nudity.

Got a pic of one before the scroll to tits in the preview video.

Edit: also the adult filter is supposed to completely remove adult games visibility, not just hide them like that as it does on the front page. So it is obviously not working as intended on those pages.

Ah, didn't notice that specific game because the others don't have that.

Looks like it's specifically Steam's micro trailers algorithm that's not considering whether the trailer it's pulling from is marked as safe.

I put in an edit, the content filter is just broken and acting like a tag filter on those pages. Tag filtering usually just blurs games and puts that notice on them, while content filter actually hides them entirely.

I suppose that's true. But I looked around other developer pages and I notice that they can still play pornographic content on their announcements page outside of the featured games preview.
This developer page for example: https://store.steampowered.com/developer/ybdoo

I'm fine with developers/publishers having the ability to have this on their page, but I believe that people who have adult/sexual content excluded should at the very least get a sexual content warning before entering the page, in the same way they would when clicking on a game with such content. Or the ability to just not have these studios visible in the discovery page in the first place.
