Age check on store page

I'm pretty sure. It's there to keep Steam Store from being archived by sites like archive.org

Nope. Many store pages don't have this restriction, and Steam API provides a plenty of data itself.

CYA. Cover Your Assets. Just gives Steam a little bit of legal protection.

but does it have to be mental age or physical age or the day u were born? they should specify this too.. as some ppl might inhabit a grown ups body.. but the upper part, isnt all there yet and ready for grown up horrors.. yet.. *shrug*

Being Steam is a "13+" age minimum but there's "18+" things in the store they need to CYA indeed... it's like a door... if you opened the door you did it on your own Steam didn't help you in.

screenshots mainly, and other things that show up on store pages. If you have a game that has violence or nudity in screenshots, you have to put a warning/age check thing there, otherwise people could technically see age restricted content without buying the game.

Yeah i wish it was easier to archive stuff, this is not the worst example far from it but still a bit annoying and it serves no real propose.

on age checks i typically make myself 100+ years old.
not all of them allow that, but some will let you put down literally any year you want to.

Steam is archived though.
