>>749338958I don't even know, man.
>>749338958I've never tim allen'd so hard in my life.
>>749338990>>749338973>>749338958it seems like devs and publishers are realizing that valve actually doesnt give a single fuckthis game konko got banned ages ago guess what?https://store.steampowered.com/app/5130120/Evenicle__Next_Fragment_Medica/just came out on steamthere was a doujin game that got banned during the collective shout dramaguess what?https://store.steampowered.com/app/4937840/Agent_Mirai_Remastered/its rereleasing as a """remastered"""I have zero doubt in my mind that dungeon traveler 2 can release on steam again uf they just called it something different
>>749339017I get that reference
>>749338958Well i mean sure i guess valve probably forgot they even banned that game
>>749338990she is but just a bit
>>749338958Wyell if Valve says so.
>>749339093Steam has this unknown cartel that can approve your game if you know the right people.
Mary has been defeated!
>>749339610Its basically a roll of the dice whether you get Mary or the autistic libertarian that just approves everythingAnd the open secret is trying your hardest as a publisher to get a mild connection to that specific steam dev
>>749338958Has delicious sand-brown sisters who never fuck each other. The first game had multiple incest scenes including twincest even.Letdown of the century.
>>749338973a bajillion ai anime match3 games blackpilled her into allowing actual eroge
>>749339093Store page means nothing. Steam can pull it down before release.
>>749338958So why doesn't anyone just sue Valve for discrimination? I see that you approved Hellraiser Revival and Sex With Hitler 3D to be sold on your platform but are banning My Little Sister Can't Possibly Have A Hemorrhoid?! despite it having considerably less offensive and graphic content, therefore I am inclined to believe that there may be discrimination here against art styles commonly associated with some asian cultures regardless of their actual content.
>>749339927https://store.steampowered.com/app/3099780/My_Sweet_Waifu_Konko/Konko still came out and it got banned around the same time as evenicle 2
>More dogshit hgames
I mean fuck it sengoku rance came out might as well try it again
>>749339093it's better this waysteam dont outright ban it but doesnt recognize their error either
>>749339948Not saying it will happen, just can, steam has always been hypocritical. In a few weeks mary will rerturn from xjer surgery and will continue banning games.
i guess as long as they get the right person and do the patch meta it all works out
I don't know what this is but good for them?
>>749338958Ecchi devs (whats left of them) have no fucking excuse not to adapt a patch model now.
isn't evenicle worse than 1 (which isn't even good)?
>>749340698i like eve1fuck you
>>749340725it felt like the devs didnt know if they wanted a comfy harem adventure or an evil rape setting, so its tonally all over the place. and its paced too slow, poor h-scenes to gameplay ratio.
>>749340725Not enough girl on girl sceneNot enough threesome scene like double blowjob and girls competition on how can put the more of it in their mouth
>>749340698It's all kusoge tier shit
>>749339960This. Genuinely awful games. Mechanically worse than the worst standard games. Compile Heat dogshit are masterpieces compared to porn "games."

>>749339610Yeah, Kagura, for example, is part of that Cartel. Everything they have gets approved, even the cunny content.
who's maryt. clueless idiot
>>749341661Retard who vetos anything anime. He tried fucking with Blue Archive as well, but it's fucking Nexon, so he caved.
>>749341661Tl;dr there's a reviewer on Steam's payroll rejects anime games and VNs like Chaos head and Eve2 arbitrarily. /v/ hates this person so it became a she (then later a "she") boogeyman named mary
>>749341538h-game artists are allergic to actually drawing harem scenes. lazy bastards
>>749338958If i recall the first try was Alicesoft actually selfpublishing their game.Now it seems MangaGamer is working on publishing this.Yeah this really shows you need to have some established connections for Steam to approve your game.
>>749341838They were also releasing evenicle 2 completely uncensored back then
>>749338958Not as good as the first one imo, I want Dohna Dohna on Steam tho
>>749341838Alicesoft is basically dead anonIt's not like 20 years ago when they released a rance game every few years
>>749338958i liked eve 1 but heard this was weak, what do you guys think? worth a shot?
>>749338958Why does the first game on steam looks to be uncensored going by the screenshots while the second doesn't even show any nudity in the screenshots at all? I assume the second is completely neutered version that requires offsite patch, if there is even gonna be one.
>>749342419>if there is even gonna be one.It's mangagamer. There's definitely gonna be one
>>749338958>sex and rapegross
>stupid jap faggots finally realized they can release their games if they censor them properly Only took, what, ten years? Even Asanagi got a game onto Steam. Imagine being so retarded that you fail to jump the extremely low hurdle of "no pedo content"
>>749342419A brief history of why:Valve LOVES to virtue signal whatever is on the news gaming wise to be seen as "the hero" or "good guys".Back in early 2017, sony HQ changed to California and changed their policy, so they started mass censoring jap games, to the point where even only in japan games on Vita/PS4 (mainly anime VNs) had ridiculous censorship with either scenes cut, clothing added or sun rays added to CGs that were a bit of a meme here.So Valve tried to do the opposite and be seen as "mature" and introduce Adult-only content on Steam.The first batch was stuff like H-RPG Maker games from DLsite like Dieselmine, Oneone1 etc. that were fully uncensored with all the scenes intact, and Evenicle 1 did the same.But in a very short time, Valve did a complete 180 and started banning all the anime shit again, just like sony, once the whole censorship "controversy" died down and people just accepted it lol.And they tried to publish Evenicle 2 in that unfortunate time, so the game got banned, and once a game is banned, it never can be resubmitted (which is why they're doing a re-release with a changed name to pretend it's not the same thing).
>>749342171It's okay Eve1 party are way better imo
>>749342419Because the first game came out before Valve began banning pedo shit. The second one was one of the first banned.
>>749338958really makes you think
Nice.>>749339675>>749340552>>749339093The /v/ approved list of h-games: pastebin.com/pQZ6C3pu (blacklisted fetishes out)
>intentionally removed japanese textShan't be buying.And no shills, it's not a licensing issue, it's entirely the publisher's choice, the dev doesn't ask for it either.
>>749347514Is this a bot?
I just want Dungeons Travellers 2Oh and I also want Mary to die from super ebola AIDS
>>749343483The Cartagra remake doesn't have one, though. Then again, I heard it's because Innocent Grey were being pussies, Mangagamer supposedly wanted for that release to be 18+ but they were told no.
>>749338958>Mature Content Description>The developers describe the content like this:>This game contains adult humor with sexual connotations, revealing outfits, sexual innuendo, sex-related language, sexual assault, consensual & non-consensual sexual acts, dubious consent, and peeping.Even though the 18+ porn content was removed for this 2nd attempt at releasing, I suspect this game is at risk of getting banned (again).Seemingly only Kagura Games understands that Steam doesn't have an issue with JUST R18+ pornographic content in bishoujo games. Because Kagura Games also publishes in China, they understand that bishoujo games need to have even R15+ content or anything objectionable patched out in order to get approved by Steam. The noncon content and dubcon content is a risk. The bishoujo faces/2D art style with revealing outfits and sexual humor is the main risk because of pic related and rule 8.When a Valve reviewer is determining whether the game is approved, they are allowed to freely determine if the expressions are breeching Steam's rule 8 (which Valve allows to be applied to fictional expression). This empowers Anti-Otaku and Anti-Fiction activists within Valve that are extremely strict with regulating bishoujo games' expressions. These activists consider 2D art styles to be inherently minor coded. Therefore, anything remotely and even indirectly sexual for bishoujo characters has been increasingly scrutinized. I will respond to this post with two examples from the content reviewers Mary, Zac, and Nadine.>>749344339>But in a very short time, Valve did a complete 180Blame Anti-Fiction journalists. When Steam announced their policy change to allow anything that isn't illegal or trolling, these journalists manufactured the public's consent for the restriction/censorship of fictional expression. Like most, Valve is compliant to Anti-Fiction activists.https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/8p4zby/megathread_games_bloggers_are_extremely_angry/
>>749351680 (me)Anons, please read my prior post and pic related. 2/3
>>749351110>Mangagamer supposedly wanted for that release to be 18+ but they were told no.This is because they're porting the Switch version, which is also straight up censored. So they cant be assed to develop a decensor patch for a port of a censored console version that will never get it. The reason Cartagra is a weird one because there's a native uncensored PC version available in Japan. Why they didnt just release that one on Steam I'll never know. Classic nip retardation, I guess.
>>749338958WTF? This is outrageous. I will notify Mary immediately. This shameless attempt to bypass the ban set by lord Gaben must be punished!
>>749338973Gears E-days backlash finally signalled the chud's retaliation. For the first time ever they finally got the company to fear chudda.
>sell game on steam>it literally only boots up to the main menu>provide full game as an external patch with schoolgirl rape and murder added in>mary BTFO It's that simple
>>749339093Now I'm having a hope they release Muramasa demon blade with no censorship. Finally prudes are getting ousted.
Based Mary shielding Steam from the unending wave of trash hentai games
>>749339093I think Valve is starting to realize that capitulating didn't really accomplish anything, especially now that every government is trying to push age verification everywhere, so they may just go full hands off and say "Ehh, if your government has a problem with it then block it like China and Germany."
>>749341759There definitely is a malicious actor inside steam reviewing crew but the moment woketards start losing their power this unknown shithead also stopped redlighting everything anime. Coincidence?
>>749351680>>749351783It remains to be seen but something tells me it's going to pass this time. Ranceshit is on steam after all this time and it's full on rapey, all they have to do is making decensor patch downloadable outside steam.
>>749351680 (me)>>749351783 (me)Pic related 3/3 >>749341661Mary is a scapegoat. Because most people are clueless about the state of Anti-Fiction censorship, many YouTubers and X posters only talk about Mary when speaking about Steam's censorship. Sometimes, they also speak about payment processors, but payment processors only restrict expressions in porn (both 2D art and 3D pig disgusting porn). Therefore, payment processors are indeed increasingly relevant when talking about eroge (Japanese erotic games), hentai manga, and WEGs (western erotic games). However, payment processors are irrelevant to the censorship of non-porn games and softcore "ecchi" games like Dungeon Travelers 2 & 2-2, which was a PSVITA game that was banned/censored by Steam and modern consoles.Lastly, the assault against fictional expression goes beyond Valve/Steam. Every major platform holder has Anti-Fiction restrictions. The least strict is Nintendo of Japan (and arguably Steam because they allow ESRB AO games/explicit sex), but seemingly Nintendo of America/Europe has become the most strict. The American Sony Interactive Entertainment (PlayStation) started the modern censorship of age-certified video games in 2018. SIE cited MeToo (cancel culture/actvism) and streaming (social media) for their censorship policies. As for Xbox, they've been awful since they censored Gal*Gun on the Xbox 360. Even Apple and Google aren't innocent despite the extremely "ecchi" gacha games they host. Kadokawa's CEO stated in 2021:>a lot of Japanese manga won't pass review at Google or Apple. So, while keeping that in mind, I do somewhat have the feeling that we have to re-establish the standards of what is okay to release and what isn't for the internet era. In the publishing industry that I'm in, everyone is in the pro-freedom of speech camp, but I do get this strong feeling that we have to redraw the line somehow.
>>749352351>Ranceshit is on steam after all this time and it's full on rapey, all they have to do is making decensor patch downloadable outside steam.Sengoku Rance's release by Kagura Games censored everything. Bishoujo characters had clevage covered up (pic related), and any mention of rape was replaced with smooching. Even the Steam pages avoid any mention of Sill being a slave. This is was I meant by bishoujo games have to have "anything objectionable" "patched out" to release on Steam.
>>749353197 (me)cleavage*Also, in case it wasn't clear, Kagura Games provides an off-site uncensor patch for all languages.However, the fact they have to patch out content is the problem I was trying to describe. Steam's Anti-Fiction restrictions against bishoujo is a problem.
>>749352826>However, payment processors are irrelevant to the censorship of non-porn games and softcore "ecchi" games like Dungeon Travelers 2 & 2-2, which was a PSVITA game that was banned/censored by Steam and modern consoles.I don't believe you unless you have some concrete proof. The idea that some western banker at a payment processor knows the difference between ecchi and hentai games is too slim. More likely they are just grouped together.
>>749352826>typing all this shit just to be wrong
>>749338958Should I acquire the gog versions of the first and second game?
>>749353334Are you trying to say rance is bishoujou?
>>749338958Doesn't everybody hate this game
>>749353374The proof is the fact that Steam has censored content that other platforms don't. See pic related. That is 2021's Ar nosurge DX.Incidentally, do you think Steam's censorship started in 2025 because of Collective Shout? If you think that, we are worlds apart in knowledge. I'll have to explain a lot more stuff.
>>749353690>Incidentally, do you think Steam's censorship started in 2025 because of Collective Shout? If you think that, we are worlds apart in knowledge. I'll have to explain a lot more stuff.No it started around 2010. And coincidentally that was right when payment processors started going after literotica.
>>749352826Mary isnt a scapegoat, shes both an actual person and a shorthand to refer to the type of anti-adult content moderator that erogamers have disdain for. The kind that draw arbitrary lines in the sand to restrict things due to ludicrous standards such as artstyle of consent, height of consent, and cup size of consent.Its the equivalent of calling an entitled customer "Karen" regardless of what their actual name is.
>>749353768Oh. Thats fantastic. You know about that too. Perhaps we are more alike. Okay, we aren't that much apart in knowledge. In case anyone else doesn't know what this anon is talking about see,https://www.reuters.com/article/us-paypal-obscenity/paypal-sparks-furor-over-limits-on-obscene-e-books-idUKTRE82620K20120307/MasterCard and VISA also claimed they weren't responsible, but their full repsonse is actually quite weasly and it's certainly clear they will censor visual expressions even if they are less strict with words/book without images.Incidentally, regarding word content, Steam has censored even that for bishoujo games. See pic related.I hope the Ar Nosurge DX example I provided in my last response as well as pic related explains my reasoning.
>>749353690Thr most baffling thing about Ar and Ciel nosurge is that no fantranslation group seemed to want to pick them up even with advent of AI and a fully completed translation available.This, Uncharted horizon 3-4 and idolmaster is what I want to see translated most.
>>749352826steam added https://store.steampowered.com/app/1434480/MaitetsuLast_Run/But they had to remove the gallery kek
>>749354108As you've described Mary, she is a spook that only exists because of the endless culture war effect (e.g., men vs women) social media causes. Using the term Mary to refer to Steam's Anti-Fiction activists guarantees that Pro-Fiction activism can only exist within the algorithmic, online world where division is promoted. If we always talk about "Mary" or "Karens", any pro-otaku, pro-fiction online movement will never institutionalize or gain institutional support and real-life successes. Instead, we will only be relevant in so far as we continue a routine controlled by social media, and neither side can ever win. To quote Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 4, "When the battlefield is under total control, (culture) war becomes routine."
>>749338958It's strange that タクポン able to release it on Steam again.
Hopefully Dragami will try again with LoveR
>censored to all hellI thought offsite patches were looked down upon by Valve in recent years?

Chud Bros we are finally winning. Woke is dying and gaming culture is healing.
>>749357571Yeah its good, I don't think I've ever seen it get a discount tho.
>>749357736Maybe Mary should have let Alicesoft release Evenicle 2 to begin with.
>>749357607I will never be comfortable saying this until Senran Kagura comes back in all its clothes ripping, boob groping glory. Give back what you took from me all those years ago and then I will consider forgiveness.
>>749352104If you cover your ears and go LALALALALALA when you see the hundreds of match 3 or jigsaw games with the most basic AI generated hentai then yeah man you're completely right.
>>749359072haha she is so clumsy and cute.
>>749340875>its tonally all over the placeno, that's just typical alicesoft. the real flaw of evenicle is that aster is as bland as cardboard.

Every night, I can feel my life, and my hometown… and even my happiness… The fiction I've lost… and the creators I've lost… It won't stop hurting, like they're all still there…I'm gonna make 'em give back our past… Take back everything that we've lost. And I won’t rest… until we do.
>>749353690pedo pfp as always
>>749341661A boogeyman whom stupid weebs blame for banning anime games whenever they play dumb about the content of their pedo games. Like this guy, >>749354178 , who is pretending the game he is talking about is clean, when in truth it was made by a hentai artist and the scene in question features a schoolgirl worrying about another schoolgirl coming into the bath with her and also fetishy complaining about how weird it feels that she has to run around without panties.People love to say leftoids/rightoids argue by pretending not to understand the problem but weebs are by far the most guilty of doing it.
People can support the censorship of bishoujo games. That simply means they're antithetical to 4chan, /v/, and fictional expression. If they don't want to feel like an minority that will be ignored, they should stop posting online and just live their life. Currently, their ilk holds real-life power throughout many English countries. Australia or the UK would be perfect for the Anon above. In the end, these people are always exposed as hypocrites for their tolerance of nonfictional harms.
>>749351680Anti fiction my ass, it's anti Japan
>>749360073Sorry that most men don’t think coke whores with nasolabial folds are attractive. Screeching pedo over and over won’t change this.

>Nooo not my shitty porn games
>>749360073>the scene in question features a schoolgirl worrying about another schoolgirl coming into the bath with her and also fetishy complaining about how weird it feels that she has to run around without panties.This is something that wouldn’t be out of place in a teen romance novel from Barnes and Noble.You people have GOT to stop acting like teens are not sexual beings, it just leads to constant cultural neurosis whenever it runs up against obvious reality. And it’s an obvious wedge point for ugly post-wall foids to take advantage of by browbeating anyone who wants younger more attractive women as the same as a fucking child murder/abductor, hence why feminism loves pedo panics like this.
>>749338958I liked the scene where you electrocuted the loli dragon until she pissed herself

>>749362618While entirely incidental, schoolgirl and rori overlaps. Rori is about youthful energy. In matter of fact, in Japan, BiShoujo (Beautiful Girl) is synonymous with rori. A rori can be big breasted and a schoolgirl. Rori has broad aesthetics and archetypes that apply to nearly all otaku anime, manga, and games. Hence when rori is attacked, the anime art style itself is attacked. See pic attached. Note how Nintendo of America/Europe's Anti-Fiction restrictions caused the censorship of the face too. This affected both Kamikaze Lassplanes & Menhera Farm outside of Japan. (Note: I will respond with additional evidence from Pokémon's Teraleak. Consider this post 1/2.)The false idea that lolis must lack secondary sexual charactersitics was informed by the tagging system on piracy sites and boorus. It has been historically irrelevant to Japan.Seemingly, activists have a problem with Japan's art style that goes beyond fictional children being sexualized. They have a problem with bishoujo/rori, which are the building blocks of otaku anime/manga/games & the 2D-exclusive concept of moé. The term bishoujo (beautiful girl) should hopefully be more intuitive than loli. Even if everyone is ignorant about the history and terminology I've described, Anti-Fiction actvists hate fictional beautiful girls.
>>749338958Zako on steam yet?
>>749356163Valve is taken out of the equation completely. The store pages of these games do not even mention the 18+ patches or the content removed. They just hope that players buying the games know to look for it.
>>749348497i make these myself with my own time and energy *beep beep boop boop*
>>749366025Nope, not until Luigi does his work.
>>7493670192/2After 2023, Nintendo of America & Europe (NOA and NOE) were given the ability to supersede age-ratings boards decisions on games in order to restrict/censor the fictional expressions of non-Nintendo publishers.Since 2017, NOA/NOE's Anti-Fiction activists have been allowed to expurgate 1st-party/Nintendo-published games for the global simulatenous releases. See pic attached. With machine translation, you can read how NOA, NOE, and TPCi applied additional scrunity on apperances internal activsts deemed minor-coded even when the fictional characters didn't look like children and were fictionally adult. In the pic, NOA, NOE cite their misintpretation of European laws. This misintpretation likely stems from Nintendo of Europe's publication of Dead or Alive Dimensions being banned by Sweedish distributors because of a concern troll. https://www.eurogamer.net/nordic-dead-or-alive-release-ruined English Anti-Fiction activists within Nintendo use a misintpretation of that situation to regulate Japanese fictional expression.At the time, NOA/NOE's censorship would only apply to Nintendo-published games like Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (note: Unlike TMS #FE's Wii U version that released in Japan first, Encore was censored by NOA and NOE in all regions for the simultaneous global release.) However, this didn't apply to third-party/non-Nintendo games. For the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo (of Japan) differentiated itself from the Anti-Fiction Sony Interactive Entertainment by accepting all expressions that were certified by regions' age-ratings boards.After Nintendo (all branches) banned Duel Princess in 2022, Nintendo's prior stance on accepting any 3rd-party games without expression restrictions changed. In 2023, they allowed NOA/NOE to enforce prior restraint on 3rd-party games released for America and Europe. Because of less activists within Nintendo of Japan, NOJ is significantly less regulatory than NOA and NOE. Japan's Switch 2 is pro-otaku.
>>749338958All these games need to do is find a publisher that knows what they're doing and not just dump a game that'll get australian karens and pp shitting themselves again. Kagura and otaku plan get everything onto steam.
>>749353197As long as there's a free patch, who cares. What matters is these games can be sold on by far the biggest video game platform and make a shitload of money. The only problem are when the devs/publishers are jews who charge for the patch, but in that case it's an instant pirate.I don;t know why people act like it's some big deal whether a steam version plays it safe or not when all that matters is supporting the devs. Otherwise, pirating the full thing is a minute away.
>>749353334Steam is l9bertarian as hell. They're just playing it safe and were right to do so when pp can sperg out and threaten shut them down overnight for hosting content they dislike. Nothing will change until that threat is gone.Tye only problem on steam's end is their employees have so much agency they aren't very consistent with what is or is not deemed safe.But a patch is the best bet. It keeps the store safe and the game can still make money, which is what matters. Anyone who knows anything knows how to get the patch and it's not like it even takes effort, it can be the laziest censorship ever or some games release outright broken until they're patched.

>>749371320There's three problems with this current situation.1) It creates a chilling effect on fictional expression. With compliance, publishers will adhere to the strictest standards that they believe exist (even in cases where they don't exist). This is especially applicable for video games that aren't eroge.2) It cultivates unsustainable audiences who will destroy the games' communities. In communities occupied/controlled by Anti-Fiction moderators (such as TV Tropes or Reset Era), the censored version will be the only version people are allowed to talk about. This cultivates a counter-fanbase/antifans. The socialization by Anti-Fiction communities is empowered by Steam's Anti-Fiction restrictions. Incidentally, these people are usually fans of censored localizations too, despite never playing the uncensored/unvandalized original or unburgered, modded localization. Their socialization is informed by an inability to play uncensored releases or unlocalized publications, and they accept/justify the power & era that makes them unable to.3) Publishers have been incapable of figuring out the Kagura Games strategy, so their games get banned. Kagura Games' strategy is patching out any content from bishoujo games that's even remotely objectionable. It has to be censored to the point that the game is sellable in Xi's China. Seemingly, Kagura Games discovered this strategy on accident because they publish games in Chinese too. When other publishers leave something remotely sexual in a bishoujo, they risk the game getting banned by Steam's anti-bishoujo actvists. Most publishers would assume that they could keep a design like Suzume's without getting banned. Kagura Games' understood it was safer to censor it. Without extreme expurgation, Kagura Games would be at the mercy of Steam review process. Steam's Anti-Fiction activists would ban the game by deeming Suzume to be a violation of rule 8.(For context on Steam's rule 8 and bishoujo, please see my other posts.)
