I'm talking about Steam's storefront and those 3 things are what Steam doesn't like, if Steam okay's it, it's there. Valve is not policing its content after that. It's not about porno laws, and rape, incest, etc, since that kind of stuff is general not listed on the games page on Steam, most only list it that with that it has sexual content.Clearly we're talking in different directions here. I've got no clue what age verification you're on about.
I was saying that Steam can't sell games on their platform in a country where the content inside this game is illegal in that country. That's it. Not hard to understand, right?
Doesn't matter if you're 5 or 50 if the laws in your country clearly state that you can't distribute a game depicting rape&co.
Edit: Maybe I'm just missing the big catch here. I've had a long fucking day, and I'm gonna knock myself out right now. Good night. lol
Germany is due to age-verification (I even linked to it) because of

and Steam having no way to actually verify a person is of age.A good comment here:
Germany suffers fromYou must be registered to see the linksthat GermanYou must be registered to see the linksenforces their Laws onto Steam and games so that almost all games exist on German store with their -Censored- or -Low Violence- (LV in SteamDB) versions. If any game really refuses to obey, then Steam is forcing the block the sales to comply with German Government.
Steam currently offers over 75,000 games (You must be registered to see the links) and gets over daily 50-100 submissions per day and Steam does NOT control, rate or approve any of them other than basic Virus checks as told inYou must be registered to see the links. So, you can see many games can "Escape" the German Censor Agency until they got reported by individuals.
