The issue with Steam is that, as far as I know, it doesn't allow a school environment that suggests minors. There was even a visual novel (VN) that only needed to change by removing the girls' uniforms and making their faces and bodies look a bit more adult to be published on Steam.
Yes but why Steam and not Patreon? They have different policies, god knows why

Each company's policy is different. Here on F95, there are many rules that prevent you from doing things that are allowed on other forums.

Exactly this type of discussion we're having can be classified as off-topic and deleted at any moment.

Steam is actually distributing games. This makes them fall under totally different laws than Patreon. It's simply a matter of laws they have to abide to.

Yeah sure, sorry for off-topic but my initial comment was reacting about that it's not only related to illegal stuff. Incest is illegal but allowed on Steam AFAIK

I've played about 60 VNs on Steam, and saying that incest is allowed on Steam would be a guess on my part because what I remember is opening a form to edit the relationships in the games I have. Aren't they all like that?

Steam has no issue with incest.

Steam's biggest bugbear is schools (high school in the states specifically) as there would be a very, very small window of time where a student would still be at 'school' and also be 18. So it's a blanket ban on Steam, regardless of what the dev says the girls ages are in a disclaimer. This is no difference to the current witch hunt by authorities/customs on sex dolls also (despite there being no actual laws in place).

What you say the age is, what the manufacturer says and what it looks like...are 20 different things as it cannot be proven and is subjective to the person looking (unlike a real person who may look underage but can prove they are not a minor). However, in a 'school' setting, most likely they would not all be 18 years old (as start 'college' at 18 at the end of summer...which would be a few months after already having left 'high school').

Why this will never be on Steam without some (more) major rewrites.

I didn't know about Steam and their policy on high school games o_O.

But I think they do make exceptions because about 2 years ago I played Bully there, I don't know if you know it, but the main character is 15/16 years old and goes to a high school type boarding school.

Only for adult games, not regular games

Are you completely sure about that? Patch..mods maybe?

Forget the school setting, anything with an under 18 year old Steam would never in a million years allow as it's pretty much banned worlwide (like the Iris scene, would be classed as animated **). They would literally be sued out of existance and shut down by the local authorities.

Yes, but dolfe67 has already answered my question, the game I'm talking about is not completely mature/for adults and therefore allowed (although you can steal panties and touch some girls' butts).

im sure also part of it is it's made by Rockstar so since it's a bigger AAA company im sure they get some more leway and passes on things like that too as steam knows it won't be a lewd game. Plus it helps it come out onto steam roughly 10 years or so before steam even allowed more adult focus / porn games on their platform. So back then it wasn't even a concern of theirs compared to now when they do allow such content.

I did, go down that path, it is a fun path, but for me she is similar annoying as Layla, only with more Bitch factor sorry ! since I made a save for each girl I included Tory as well.
I actually think most bad blood towards Tori comes from when you are doing a Layla(+Elena) run then actually going for Tori.
When you are on Layla, Tori is a bitch with a huge chip on her shoulder, just being nasty and bitchy for no reason.

The actual Tori path is OK, she doesn't set out to antagonize you(often) and simply doesn't like wasting time, no talking, no relationship, no feelings(yet, it may come)... just fucking, very objective.
And pays no attention to you hanging out with other girls either...

Visually i think she would perhaps look better with a different hair, it's a little too short and too much blonde for her complexion.
The body is ;)

LSC82 ; this is a point which I personally feel it is often overlooked, when talking about a AVN, and it is rather well done in this one, the characters change their attitude, towards the MC when on a different path, It is a big plus for me in this one.

She has a natural bitchy attitude, but it should be no surprise that when you tell her "no thanks" to become Layla's (fake)BF she's not gonna like that...

The only thing that is really bad is the fact that the path only stays open(regardless of previous interactions) if you win the race, that one is inexcusable... and it's always going to stand in the way of attempts to humanize her.

And what about the Sha'Carry girl? The one who sportingly humiliates the girls from the MC's school.

Will she be a future ally, a villain, or will she never be seen again? :unsure::coffee:.
