They just have to switch to the model where they finish their games. Dev of House Party said that the income on Steam he has is incomperably bigger than this on a Patreon. Real market doesn't work on monthly updates and that would be good for our games.
Finish games? Let's not get crazy now.
Dude, have you even read their Post? They said exactly that they are not going to tell devs what to do. If the Game is not breaking any laws they wont care.
I know lots of kids use it, but lots of kids use Google and you can very easily find adult content there.
Yeah, Steam needs to up it's game on kiddo protection. Something stronger than do you know what birthday would make you old enough to see this? They need to have accounts marked as underage and not just actively limit the games they see, but maybe prevent them from certain social aspects of the site as well. I can imagine some creepers use it to find kids.
"Dad, what's Tits and Ass Mega Fuckfest 2000?"
These are the people that should be banned...well from parenthood, M$ among all the crap actually has pretty good CP software. There's plenty of free stuff out there to restrict access and restrict hours of use (or just the mains switch). There is no excuse for lazy parenting. Before anyone asks, parent of 2 now adult children.
We're all fucked then. :/
They have prevailed for 5000 years, while they can still push their agenda in schools with the backing of governments, they will continue to do so.
Why? Do the big games? I play Neverwinter (not through Steam) and the next update is coming out in this month. There is one every 6 months and granted the base was sort of finished on launch, there is no specific end to the game.
If it all goes well, the scenario I would imagine to be most common would be Patreon to get started and then get it on Steam when it's finished.
That's MMO - different rules for them. Games have to be developed fully and later on there might be some DLCs to them. There is an early access ofc but it doesn't work like Patreon and Steam won't let a bunch of wannabe devs stick for years in it. Another thing is that there is no reason for monthly updates on steam as players won't pay and withdraw on a monthly basis. Game would have to have huge amount (in comparison to what we have now) of content to even start as I doubt even 0.8 of most VNs here would be accepted there as they're so far from being finished.
Gotcha, thanks!
Well, DoD is technically a perfect example of incest game that could go on Steam. If they would seriously accepted such a game there, with such a quality of renders it would earn more cash for Sin than he earned during all these months on Patreon. He could update it later on for free just to bump attention or release DLCs with paths. It would be probably over for monthly releases from him but quality would grow for certain. That's all theory cuz I still can't really imagine a simple erotic game on Patreon - especially with such extreme fetishes. But someone should give it a try for sure as that would be a milestone for a whole market.
Remains to be seen exactly what this means. It COULD possibly mean full on erotic content on Steam. There could also be a big influx of erotic content met with a huge backlash. We've seen Valve flip flop on this topic before.
