Yes, but someone in charge does have that possibility, normally the dev, and if the very dev or mod haven't done it, at some point you have to stop GOING ALL CAPS for something you have no control over, such as other people's behavior of posting a comment from the 1st page without reading the last one.
Steam doesn't allow porn games in Germany (really shouldn't allow them anywhere, just my opinion), reasoning is Steam does not and will not ask for ID (simply giving a fake birthday/age like most sites is good enough for them) and Germany legally requires that for porn sites. I guess it's less of a hit to their profit for Valve to simply not allow porn there rather than start globally asking for a pic of your ID. I have 0 porn AVNs cluttering my wishlist or library anyway, Steam isn't needed for porn AVNs.
Kinda retarded take but you got name Beavis & Butthead so I understand your position
What's retarded about it? Other than my noted opinion everything else is fact. That's been German law since 2020. Reasoning is mostly <18's use Steam.
You are saying that we should not be allowed to publish games on steam is a retarded take. Lord Gaben is our savior with the Patreon being so retarded and subscriber star not being a popular platform. In few years many smaller devs will just start publishing their games on Steam because it's far more profitable and less restricted than Patreon.
Yes, as much as everyone screams and yells and says Subscribestar is the lord and savior, it ain't shit. Most dev's who move there fail miserably, and most who get their Patreon nuked end up just giving up as SS doesn't bring in the same revenue stream. People act like SS is so good, very few dev's make good over there, and most don't want to be associated with it, as most KNOW why some games are there, and most users don't trust it.
Smaller devs make 3x more on steam than on their Patreon per year. Ofc its nice to have both option
I knew you wouldn't have the balls to do that
Yeah, from what I've seen (small sample size, and most of these dev's are not the big shots) say it's life changing, and Steam completely changed everything with the amount of money they bring in. I'm not sure how much after the initial launch, but from what I've seen many see Steam as the goal.
I would rework till ep6 maybe but that would take quite some time and its not really worth it.I knew you wouldn't have the balls to do that
On a serious note though, I belive what Boring decided to eventually settle with Shut Up and Dance is the best approach when it comes to technical redos. Instead of beginning a long cycle of constant early chapter reworks, he did a redo/new chapter update on a cycle. That way, both the intention of getting the early content up to the new standards were achieved and the game also progressed without being delayed for a year. Also, after playing the first redone chapter and going into the second one that had the old visuals had a very very visible difference, and pretty much every player could see with their own eyes why it was a necessity to remake the early episodes.
A shit game that is not so popular here with some very small gameplay loop earns around 15k on steam sales.
... oh wait..
The things that Steam/Patreon doesn't allow is exactly one of the few reasons I will support an AVN on SS (and increasingly more so on Backed.by, for those stuck in SS review limbo). As those aren't allowed here or a lot of other sites like Steam so is mostly the only way to get them so is probably why most loli devs on SS make bank if their AVN doesn't suck (some over 1/3 of a mil a year). Everything else can be had for free either here or on one of the other dozen or so AVN sites so it's silly to pay for something that's easy to get for free (at least to most). Wanna get rich making a game (or at least better odds of that): instead of making mostly just fap material that isn't much different than any one else's fap material come up with a good PG13-R story, get a business loan if need be and make a good RPG or similar like used to be done. And don't forget to also save for marketing it. Funny how essentially no one takes that kinda risk for AVNs and porno games (since over 99% don't even make min wage once the hours and income are counted) and subs assume the risk instead (with most of them losing after it gets abandoned). These days simply day trading crypto is probably more lucrative if not using the render card to mine that instead (I average about 30% a year return myself on Coinbase = doubles about every 3-3.5 years). And I'm sure the payment processors will eventually quit picking on just Patreon and go after Valve as well, so will probably end up with the same AVN restrictions Patreon has (another reason to switch to crypto like most devs of banned content have done if not on SS).
