Its 100% fine because national laws dont apply to steam beyond the United States where the company is based out of and as far as it goes the Child Protection act attempted by Clinton didnt pass, only the ESRB rating passed and within that clearly states that adult games go under the ESRB of A or A+ (A+ is so rare that it might as well not exist) but given that the ESRB exists in the first place means nothing has been bypassed. Heck the law and ranking would not exist if it was outlawed mate, at that point its up to the parents to hide the games, Steam gives you the tools but their not going to hold your hands on setting it up.
As for the political peeps on steam, well its hard to get past them. Given how many World War games exist I imagine banning the political figures would be an insanely hard task. I agree games like hentai with Hitler need to destroyed but games like say, Company of heroes would be hard to do anything about as its literally about the second world war thus would be hard to remove terms used there.
No actually. In the United States the term that goes with cartoons of minors (I'm sure half of you know what it is) is actually classified under the taking of child porn and thus states anything resembling a minor acting in a sexual manner is outlawed regardless of what it is including art including cartoon art. The issue is that its handled at the court which can accept or deny the claim on it which in the US i've heard it go both ways so idk if there's a solid law on the cartoon side of it atm

Rules 2 and 3
Sexually explicit images of real people
Adult content that isn’t appropriately labeled and age-gated
Nice try tho
Sorry, but steam direct is literally for GAMES being released on Steam.
Not sure why you're claiming it's not.
I'm so confused.
All I did was point out he was using the correct place to find information.
THat's all I did.
It's also not hypocritical to have rules on a forum.
The forum is different than the games on Steam.
IT makes no sense to claim otherwise.
If it's not about the forum, your post about it being hypocritical makes no sense at all.
BY definition.
There is nothing else it can apply to here.
So, please, explain yourself, because it makes no sense.
Community and games are different though.
You should also understand the rules make sense.
Regardless, Steam has the final say, so it doesn't matter if you don't like their ideas. :P
If you look at German law, and most other Western nations, a vast amount of games (and even 3d model kits) have to edit out swastikas for legal reasons. There are many war computer games that you will not see any symbols used by the Nazis regarding flags or vehicle decals etc. You may still get an Iron Cross but look at the ships, huge red square, big empty white circle in the centre, no swastika or iron cross in the centre. The Eagle emblem is often missing too. Even online player, or forum, names will outright reject "Hitler" as user names. I'm actually surprised you can use it on Steam without censorship.
It is possible for them to clean up Steam, it would require some effort granted but, algorithms can do that to a large extent now. Then you rely on other user members reporting violations of the policy.
People will stop using a service if they keep getting harassed by Mod's, dictated to, heavily restricted regarding allowed content, censored and banned for no good reason.
The site loses the subscription, advertising revenue will go elsewhere, they lose the income from the customers.
People are making valid points that are on topic here.
I forgot a 2nd (/quote), fixed now.

So as far as it goes Steam literally outright told you that before signing up that as far as things goes, on here you abide by the laws of the State of California and on those of the United States unless stated under the clause of the EU note.
--Edit--
Basically to make it understandable unless the game makers are directly located in Germany itself, they hold no sway over what people put on steam.
For example the game Sex with Hitler is made by Romantic Room games which seems to be a Russian-based independent game development group which means as far as laws go the laws they are subject to are those of the Federation of Russia and the United States clauses stated in the agreement, Germany's laws hold no water in this case
I'll drop the subject then on my end, simply because I dont want to spark a new wildfire at this point, I'll see myself out
Californian law is not international law. If you are in the States and you ship something to a State where that product is illegal, you will be prosecuted, even face jail time.
If you create something that breaks German laws and ship it to Germany, you will be prosecuted no matter what nation you reside.
