>Valve is no longer accepting Early Access games with sexually explicit content.

HAHAHAH GET FUCKED

HAHAHAH PATREON SCAMMERS BTFO

unlucky for the legit guys though

File deleted.
Good.
>>
>>720331748
ok
Version 1.0.0.0.1 with post-release updates
>>
Given the sheer amount of time these games abuse the system on Patreon, etc, I'm not the least bit surprised about this decision.
>>

Hily shit absolutely, unfathomanly base-
>it's exlusive to porn games
nvm I hope Gabe and his entire family die horribly.

Legit guys market their early access games through f95 until they can sell it on steam, there is literally no reason to allow unfinished games on the platform.

Now they just need to ban early access entirely.

That's how I felt too, but yeah, it does fuck over creators who are already being raked over the coals for payment processor nonsense.

A way around this is to just make and sell games as chapters.
Debut game as chapter 1, counts as a full release.
DLC comes out for chapter 2.
Procrastinate chapter 3 for another year.
Hint at chapter 4 but it's potentially 5 years down the line.

Ultimately early access denial won't affect porn games too much if they were already going to scam people.

Why tho?
>>
>>720331748
are these patreon scam games even on steam? pretty sure they just live off furfags paying them 50k a month on patreon
>>
>>720331748
I don't think GOG will either, but someone could create a Dreamlist entry and encourage others to vote: https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/

Imagine if the meddling from some strayan harpies ends up elevating weg work ethic and content standards by leaps and bounds.
>>
>>720331826
I think it's because a game might add disallowed content during development. Not that that would stop them from just adding it in a post-1.0-release update, but whatever.
>>720331936
Yeah, that's what Aurelia did.
>>
>>720331814
Honestly though what is even the difference between Early Access and Not Early Access when the latter are often enough just as unfinished and consistently rely on post-release updates to fulfill promises to consumers.

we did it reddit
>>
>>720331826
That's not the problem, it's that Steam is afraid that they'll add incest/rape/loli shit after it's already been greenlit
>>
>>720331748
I love whenever steam does something out of greed or external pressure from payment processors/judges and then some fag like OP comes out to pretend like they did it out of some moral pro-consumer principles
>>
>>720331936
Isn't that a piracy site? What would devs gain by advertising to people that don't buy games?
>>
So no more patreon bait unfinished for 10 years games? Nice
>>
>>720332035
Oh, nobody wants to buy them anyways. My apologies.
>>
>>720332414
It is
But some devs are really hands on and communicate via there, it's the biggest porn game forum after all

people like the good will and support the devs
>>
>>720332449
see >>720332346 and you are stupid
>>
>>720331991
so you can't have your game accepted and then sneak in a loli update afterwards

Thank you Big Brother for helping me avoid wrongthink.
>>
>>720332414
Nobody will buy your game if they don't know about, piracy helps you sell your product no matter what publishers or movie studios say.
>>
Okay. Now start removing early access porn games that are already on Steam
>>
>>720331748
Good, tired of v0.0.3 alpha early access (support me on patreon for the next 8 years until I abandon it completely at v0.0.5)

>>720331936
>Now they just need to ban early access entirely.
A 1 year maximum, actually, 6 months. That'd be acceptable. If you can't Fix Your Shit after 6 months of playtesting and feedback then you don't deserve money.
Withhold the money from sales during early access until release as well, and unlimited refund window during early access.

>no one has eeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrr promised updates that never come on a game that isn't in early access

That's not what I said. There is a line preceding and following that one. They can promise whatever, but they won't be afforded the leniency when rated for the complete package they put on the store.

Barely drops from 36%?

They will never do that all the way through because they get money off of sales no matter how sloppy or unfinished they are, and Gabe always needs another yacht for his collection.
The adult game ban is pure moralfaggotry pressure, and they aren't losing that much money over it anyway.
>>
>>720331748
imagine being a faggot and using steam

keep using visa and mastercard too like the nigger you are
>>
>>720331748
adult games should have never been put on steam in the first place
>>
>>720334030
Neither should have 18+ games of all kind
Lets walk the full road big boy

>>720332297
Hades 2 is full price and has been early access for months, if not a year. Shit is stupid.
>>
>>720333723
>Gabe always needs another yacht for his collection.
no need, he just brought the whole manufacture for like 20 billion or something, he can just make his own now

greenlight was far from perfect but it offered a lot of QA on the storepage

>>720331748
WEGs get all their money from Patreon, steam sales don't mean anything to them.
