Chris Mawson writes: "Indie developers Hidden Armada have pledged to continue work on their frantic pirate brawler, Mutiny!, despite the title falling well short of its £25,000 Kickstarter goal.
With a plethora of indie titles being on display at this year's gaming expos up and down the country, the cartoony party game was one of the titles to capture our imaginations the most. We weren't alone, either, with Mutiny! receiving a lot of positive press coming out of EGX and Play Expo, as well as amassing over 150 backers for its Kickstarter campaign."
After a couple of rather tense days for independent visual novel developers, it appears that Steam is taking a softer approach to the issue.
Good. I don't need Steam to be moral puritans that tell me what's appropriate for me to buy and play.
I have to give it to huniepot devs they really push and fight back to defend their products. It’s a shame that the puritan disease has spread into the valve storefront. Adult games have a right to exist especially in a digital download store. What’s the problem with putting the games behind a credit card access area to avoid young prying eyes? I don’t know any 10 yr olds with credit cards. It’s infuriating to me that this bs continues to happen. That dismembered heads and gore is ok but sex and nudity is not. That murder porn thrives but sexual content is shunned. I can understand the ban on consoles but this should not be an issue on PC.
Anything can be modded and patched on PC. Valve is stupid. What exactly they trying to avoid? Being sued? Why skirt around the adult content of games? Just dip your toes in the sexual currents of adult content with games like elven love and a censored VR konojo? It’s rediculous just jump in already there’s money to be made in this area. Leave the censorship to consoles games. PC games can be modded and patched for sexual content but that requires navigation to other sites and a bit of knowledge on modding games. This should not even be necessary with PC games. Just sell the dam games as is use the rating system.
At any rate should steam continue with their non inclusive contradictory way of dealing with the sexual content of games because they have no spine in dealing with a few raging puritans who can’t deal with nudity. Go to FAKKU or DSLITE among others who thrive selling sexualized games for ADULTS who can deal with such content as ADULTS. Because apparently steam thinks only kids buy games.
Digital download portals specialized in adult video games reach out to help developers affected by Valve's recent crackdown.
Valve what are you going to do to stop school shootings?
“We’re gunna ban naked women, cause women are the root of man’s evils”
Honestly disgusting that Valve would pull this kind of stunt literally overnight for developers and publishers. Especially the games that got express permission beforehand and have been on the storefront for years now.
Right of the bat, Steam/Valve is not in the adult entertainment industry and that was made clear as F. This decision was not just a Steam thing. It was feedback, ethics and professionalism. Sorry. We don’t want your wackoff material on the gamespace. We don’t want any instances/data/etc. of that material on the site/app. Upset with that? Go confide in your sticky anime pillow or take your hairy palm (just one for obvious reasons) off the keyboard and go upstairs and ask your mom to write in a letter.
Dating sim/puzzle game HuniePop's developer has allegedly received an e-mail from Valve stating that a patch must be applied to the game lest it be found in violation of Steam's rules surrounding adult & pornographic content. Nor are they the only ones with Mutiny! by Lupiesoft receiving a similar email
ofc they have, you are only allowed murder, kill and genocide each other and fantasy worlds, what makes me laugh also is they have not targeted homsexual content on the site that are like these games
I like how hatred an AO game is allowed but tits which are all over mainstream gaming with GTA5 and Witcher 3 are banned if the game itself isn't mainstream. I hate how this culture breeds favoritism as long as you make enough money to justify it.
