Of course
By the way, Crystar is on sale right now.

>>750972680
I don't buy shit from Steam anymore, even though I really wanted to get Stupid Never Dies.

>>750972680
it doesn't make sense. crystar had nothing that would be an issue unless you are one of those freaks that think any story involving high school aged girls is a no go.

if Tim really wanted to shit-talk Steam he should constantly bring up how Mary works there and Mary will reject games without any explanations and there are NO clear guidelines. It's just if you give the anti-japan racist bigot Mary a japanese game Mary is incredibly likely to reject it because "it gave me the ick" or whatever (ignore all the repugnant homo furshit Mary lets through without objection weird huh)

>>750972680
but Steam are totally the good guys!!1
fuck you

>>750973153
it's still shit to single out anime games when steam approves a million low effort literal porn games

>>750973069
Crystar came out almost 10 years ago in a completely different world. There's even an uncensored butt crack in the game's opening video.

>>750972680
Doesn't say it's banned, but I wouldn't be surprised if that actually happened. LoveR got delayed before being banned.

>>750973339
i don't think it's banned. it falls perfectly in line with their other games and furyu is a consistent publisher

>>750972680
>the review is taking longer than the usual timeframe and has still not been completed
OP is a lying faggot. Also this will probably keep happening to more and more games as the amount of slop submitted daily increases.

did you read the actual post? its delayed not banned due to long queues, retard.

It might be another Majogami situation where they have to put a "mature content" label in the description or something silly. If I do get Crymelight, it'll be on PS5 anyways but I'm currently playing another recent release right now so it'll have to wait.

>>750972680
>delayed because Steam reviewers are behind schedule
Another victim of the AI tidal wave.
Steam really needs a new policy for publishing games, maybe increase the initial buy-in from $100 to $1,000 and give $900 back as a percentage of the first 1000 sales or something.

>>750972680
Wtf, what is even to censor. It's just all chibi chatacters.

>>750973820
i think the people posting about the queue being overloaded are correct and makes the most sense

Anyone who played it is it fun? Art style is cute thinking of getting it.

>>750974212
if you liked crystar, like furyu slop, and enjoy deckbuilding, tree climbing systems.
this game is for you.
it also has a demo, so don't even listen to me.

There's also an uncensored Swtich 2 version but obviously snoys have to try and find a win where ever they can.

Games that are banned from Steam have both their store pages and community hubs taken down without warning with no communication from Steam other than a possible message that your game had diddy blud content, after which they ghost you. This is what happened to LoveR Kiss. This is what happened to Caladrius 2. In extreme cases like Tokyo Clanpool and Dungeon Travelers 2, the game doesn’t even get a store page or community hub before it gets banned; because of backend changes in 2025 SteamDB can no longer detect those.
What I’m saying is this seems more like a Majogami situation where Steam is just demanding something less significant from them and it’s holding up review. Majogami still came out on Steam uncensored in the end, so I’m willing to bet this one will too.
If you really want to see if Sony’s rolled back their policies to the point they’re better than Steam now, keep an eye on Caladrius 2 which actually got banned from Steam but as far as anyone knows is still scheduled for release on Switch and PS5. Given everything I’ve seen from Nintendo lately I have zero trust in them to not censor it, but who knows what Sony might do at this point.

>>750984837
Jap games are also falling out of favor. They get more sales now due to releasing everywhere but they're failing to reach the "giant online base" they have. Take troons and fags making metaphor their personality for a bit. Even with all that noise and praise it sold all its sales in 2 weeks and fell of a cliff. Jap gaming isn't in a healthy state. They're just not shutting down or downsizing as they already went through this twice before

Seems Steam is becoming more aggressive with banning Japanese indie games. Recently there was this VN that got banned for having a fade to black shower scene, then that shmup where you lose clothes when you take damage (but everything is covered by smoke anyway so what's the issue?) and now this. Furyu games don't even have any fanservice beyond some light lesbian undertones, so what's the problem with this game besides it being Japanese? I think the message is clear - Steam doesn't want Japanese indie games on the store front in any capacity for political reasons, because western devs can publish Sex With Furry Hitler and Femboy Futa House without any problems and they won't go after their own.

>>750984915
Its not even region locked, why wouldn't you not be using the JP eshop?
The prices are cheaper and the sales are far better too, you will easily spend half what you do on the westoid eshop even if you only buy new releases.

>>750984942
>Jap games are also falling out of favor
I have been hearing this for literally almost 2 decades now, meanwhile in reality they are the only relevant games these days.

Steam should just ignore every game that is under 1000 wishlists.

>>750984967
>Take the bunny garden ones.
Which happened thanks to westoid consultants censoring it for a safe steam release.

>Mr Usuda: Yes, it’s certainly a difficult issue. Firstly, whilst it’s inevitable that some people might find our games ‘disturbing’, we do want to ensure that no one is hurt.
>For example, we have a game called *Beat Refle*, and we received feedback from players who said that the massage scenes in the game reminded them of experiences of sexual harassment. This made us realise once again that such people do exist, and we’ve decided to take care to ensure that no one is hurt.
>Of course, it’s difficult to get everything absolutely right. Even with *Bunny Garden*, if someone were to say, ‘It reminds me of being sexually harassed in a bar,’ I wouldn’t know what to say. Given that the theme is night-time work, there are certain aspects that are, to some extent, unavoidable.
>Mr. Usuda: The most important thing, above all, is reaching as many users as possible. I’m sure that’s a priority not just for us, but for other manufacturers and platform providers as well.
>Mr. Usuda: That’s right. I think we’ll continue to create “games for gentlemen that are as easy to play as snacking on chips.” Within that framework, I’d like to take the titles that have been loved by our users and expand them even further.
>Usuda: With a male protagonist, the premise of “manual labor to pay off debt” works well as a joke, but when it’s a female protagonist and she ends up “taking on debt to work in the nightlife industry…,” it just doesn’t feel funny anymore, does it?
>—That’s true; it does feel quite harsh when the protagonist is a woman.
>We’ll continue to release more and more “gentleman’s games that are as easy to play as snacking on chips,” and we have some unannounced titles in the works behind the scenes, so please stay tuned.

wow its almost like its on the best interest of westoids to sabotage nintendo in favor of steam or something, especially when "nintendo consoles are for kids" has always been a westoid meme, especially with the 3ds having almost as much ecchi games as the vita (almost none localized, as it should)

>>750985369
Dude c'mon. Calling a nintendo game a "japanese game" is not right. It's not representative of the whole market and medium there. It's like saying the biohazard games are made for japs. Also pc emulation and the like is a small niche. Most people don't even know thats a thing.

It's not "westoid projection". Square, Sega, Falcom and more devs would miss targets if not for the large market they picked up thanks to chinese pc gamers. Even the japs talk about this on fc and their x discussions

>>750985423

no, they love "anime" from chinky gachaslop, they just hate japan specifically

The shitty all age nekopara gacha got delayed which was supposed to come out last month too. Still no news or a release date for the steam release. Crymelight is in a similar situation where it can be stuck in limbo for weeks now. Atleast Anomalith came out on time but holy moly is this can of worms for steam right now.

That's cool and all, but when will they lower the price or at least give a discount for Crymachina? I've enjoyed Potato Girl's story, but if Crymachina is more of the same (garbage combat, stiff animations, levels looking a bit like asset flips (though they did have some charm to them)) then while i would still like to play it at some point, i'm not sure it's worth what they're asking for it. Though admittedly the voice acting was top tier and the music was also very good so there's that.

I don't get it. Can't the publishers just say all the characters used to be men and so banning the game is transphobic?

>>750986492
> but if Crymachina is more of the same (garbage combat, stiff animations, levels looking a bit like asset flips (though they did have some charm to them))
It is.
Making Noa happy was a pain that I wouldn't like to go through again. The levels, cool and all BLAME-like at first, start feeling repetitive once you find yourself travelling through the same corridor for the 100th time, just to get that extra bit of lore that you need.

>>750986492
I liked crystar much more than crymachina but that's probably because I don't care much for yuri. Crymachina leaned hard into yuri and if you remove all the gay robots it's a pretty miserable experience. Crystar has good moments but Machina had nothing for me.

Dang, and they just announced a collab with that game in Magical Princess.

What's especially funny about this anti-Japan banning Valve/Steam engage in is that because Steam hosts so many slop releases per day there's no way to individually review them appropriately. Meaning that somebody at Valve is SPECIFICALLY hunting down Japanese releases to put under extra scrutiny and find any excuse to permanently ban them. Then hide behind their first and final review lazy bitch policy excuse. Valve can surely afford to host games that Nintendo Sony and Xbox host in every US state. There's no excuse it's purely a politicized party seeking out JP releases because it offends their West coast faggotry.

I see. I'd still like to give it a try at some point because i quite enjoy miseryporn and Crystar certainly delivered on that front, but yeah if it's more of the same on the technical side then i'll just keep waiting for a deep discount. Frankly i'd like to try some other FuRyu titles as well (like the new Anomalith, maybe Reynatis) but i assume all their games share that lack of polish while asking for 60 bucks (actually more in my monopoly currency) up front.

Fuck mary regardless though.

>>750987305
I'm about 10 hours into Anomalith at this point and I'd definitely recommend actually playing that over Crymachina. It's like going back to the PS2 days of picking up some random ass game based on the box art only for it to be 7/10 jankkino. They don't make 'em like this much anymore.

Monark mentions high schoolers being sexually active which would probably be used as a reason by mary to deny an anime game nowadays.

I got that vibe from the trailer and a review I caught at some point. Looks interesting but not $50 interesting. If it goes on sale I was going to check it out.

Why did it have to release on the same day as OoT? I'm trying to play both but Zelda is pure crack.
