Alright man, while some of your ideas arent that bad, you really dont help your cause with all your shenanigans and not giving information.
How about naming that game, or giving a link.
And also, I thought they have to develop more tools to put on filters for people that dont want to see this kind of game, thought they said that would take more time. And until then they would have to review it like they still do.
Edit: Somehow the link to the game didnt show up, probably because of not allowing scripts. Guess thats my fault then, for surfing the web somewhat safely. Still my fault.
I posted a link to the game....Its house party and there is a few more in the store.....Here is the news

Mate, that game has been on steam for quite a while now.
With the restriction lifted on adult games on the Steam platform, Valve still have control over their own platform, which means they have the final decision on what games can be put onto it.
Though in my opinion, there has to be some sort of age gate, lest a 10 year old finds his/her way into the realms of adult gaming. But don't forget, modding a game to have adult content in it and buying a game that has that "built" into it are two very different things. For example. you buy Skyrim. This game has no sexual content in it, so people are happy with it (i.e: there's little to no controversy). But you buy Summertime Sage (for lack of another example) on Steam, without an age gate and full sexual content in it without patching, there's going to be uproar (meaning bad publicity, which could end up with a harsher restriction than before).
Just my two cents. Take this as you will.

All adult content is now allowed on steam unless illegal AKA pedophilia

Also bad publicity is good they cant do nothing to stop adult games or porn they can cry all they want is legal you just have to put a 18+ message to be ok with the law and no one can do nothing about it.In past the cried about GTA now they say nothing about it people get used to this things

My guess is you're trolling. In case you're not I feel very sorry for you.
Most people included me didnt know steam allowed porn content now so what trolling before there was the rumor of them deleting all games with adult sex scenes

Yes, you are indeed correct (they can't do nothing == they absolutely can do something ). If they wanted to, they could ban adult games right now, and you (we, us) will have absolutely no say in the matter. If their shareholders decide that this decision could lose them money (which is unlikely, btw), they'll get Valve to remove the offending games from their platform. If Valve think they will lose shareholder's because of this decision, they'll insert the ban again.
At the end of the day, Valve own the Steam platform. They can pick and choose what they allow on it. Complain all you want to if it does happen, it's their decision and will always be.

I read the news on the day it was posted by Steam, in their Blog post. And about House Party, as far as I know you still need an uncensor patch from the developers website. In sex scenes it would still censor genitalia, so its not really a porn game thats uncensored on steam yet.
I was talking of people not steam.....steam allows it,
Keep in mind they (crazy moms and cucks) wanted to ban GTA san andreas years ago....Steam job is to offer a platform,they care for sells not for people feelings, IF something is illegal like pedophillia of course it will not be approved to be on steam

You are seriously walking the line between obsessive, crusading (ironic given your comment on religious bigots) and trolling.
@bossapplesauce showed details of the thread on this forum (

) that has the info you have just posted a link to. So, not news.House party is on steam, ooh shock horror, that was also known. So, not news.
You obviously have not read what has been written in the link you posted nor what has been posted in this thread. The headline stated as long as it is not illegal, @muttdoggy stated as long as it is not illegal. Steam are a US based company (AFAIK) therefore, US law would be what they would refer to. Incest on a federal level is illegal, therefore it is safe to assume that it will not be allowed on Steam. Again, not really news, especially given the whole Patreon thing.
Arguments about GTA (I remember the GTA3 rows) are irrelevant because a) it is age gated (18 rated) and did not need a patch (that you have been going on about) and shops could get heavy fines for selling it to minors, b) steam can ban what the hell it likes, because it says so, it is a private concern (I repeat).
Based on this, you are either trolling or incapable of putting together a coherent argument. So until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm out of here, have fun.
ETA the constant editing of posts (I know irony) and the ratio of rant to Engrish is appalling.
Incest fiction is not illegal there is even icnest porn roleplay videos made in the US and sold without problems.....Also the patreon thing was theyr choice as they use only paypal nothing strange steam is different also visa and Mastercard make no problems on porn and all type of stuff u buy.I strongly belive the patreon incident was becosue of paypal and theyr own choices to not be involved with adult content tahts what happens when you use only one payment method

Hey its you again. Now im wondering, how did you get the assumption that its safe to say that fictional things are the same as real things? There are quite many depictions of many taboo themes in media, be it books, art, or movies. They cover everything from rape, incest, underage, bestiality. And they are indeed still allowed.
I mean, does the US have a cut/censored version of Game of Thrones where the incest or rape does not happen? So while I agree they can for sure say they dont want that kind of content on their platform (as in, games with incest for example) they arent exactly forced to do that by law.
Or am I somehow seeing that wrong?
Leave him be i think he never seen incest porn or visited a porn site....he thinks just becouse paypal is against porn then everyone is.....Master card and Visa are the big dogs and they even let u buy drugs,the world is not a religious femminist fantasy and i wish it remains free and open minded.The only thing illegal is child pornography and in some countries even 3d child pornography like for example they cant show naked little girls doing sex even if its fiction like game of thrones
If patreon was not soo attached to paypal there would be no incest ban....Its all paypal foult Thats why is betetr to use grown man credit cards like Mastercard

Just a few points in no particular order. I don't care to go back and quote things throughout the thread, so this is just a general response to points made throughout the ongoing discussion.
The most important part of Valve's announcement is the very last paragraph:
The talk of them banning games came down to them sending out automated notices that were triggered by the flood of reports that came in from a moral crusader group that staged a harassment campaign against games they didn't approve of being on Steam. Just a few days after those e-mails went out, Valve got in touch with each of the affected developers to let them know they could ignore the first e-mail and that they would be manually checking the games that were targeted to make sure they were in compliance with their rules.
You can't easily get away with posting adult games with the sexual content enabled via mods/patches anymore as Steam has a rule against sharing links to such mods/patches anywhere in their forums or on store pages. This is because it is bad practice and not the right way to address adult games, which shouldn't be marketed as all age games when it's clear the devs intended them to be 18+. It was a good call on their part to shut that down, even if I didn't personally like it due to the inconvenience it brought to those of us who are of age and want the content. But I nonetheless understand why they did it.
Valve don't answer to stock holders as it is a privately owned company with no plans to ever go public specifically because GabeN doesn't want to let anyone ever bully them into policy changes or selling out to competition.
Oh, also, thanks to PewDiePie and others getting House Party on Valve's radar, it was taken down late last July for I think a few weeks until they reworked the game into a censored version that Valve had to approve before it could go back up.
The most important part of Valve's announcement is the very last paragraph:
So no, right now you probably wouldn't get approved to post a straight up porn game to Steam. But I think the chances are high that we will be able to once they get the tools in place.

Evrytime you want to put a game on steam tehy take time seeing if its good for them.....so once they approved it is almost impossible for them to delete it

@Dev.Omar Valve aren't a government agency and you don't have a right to be on their platform. They are a private corporation and they can allow or remove any games they want at their own discretion. BTW, here is the Steam Direct signup page which includes the current rules on submissions:
