I simply don't use Steam for porn even though I'm in the US (due to them not allowing lolis mainly), simple solution. Porno VNs don't need Steam anyway, if it's not here it can be found on a dozen other AVN sites or platforms like Backed.by or Subscribestar. I didn't know a VPN could be used as a Steam work-around due to them using billing address for geolocation (thougth not worth it since there's still porn not allowed no matter the country even when it's locally legal).
I think its more like of an issue, that you can only support people by patreon but not supporting them by buying the game on steam, because all kind of porn games got banned in germany (via Steam purchase). Last game I could buy there was Acting Lessons from DPC. At that was a long time ago.
And I want world peace, a cure for aging, and a post-scarcity global economy. Just come back in a decade or 2 then get the whole plot at once (assuming it's not abandoned at some point).
I don't use Patreon either, no need to since any AVN worth supporting has multiple platforms as backup that don't do censorship (SS and BB the top 2 among those). What alot of devs do is simply give the latest update to subs or sell it on their own site and for advertising purposes drop the previous one for free either here and/or on other AVN sites. If the AVN doesn't suck too bad that is good enough to get maybe a few thousand subs just by doing that alone, which is plenty if you just pirate the assets and music and forget about stupid/expensive licencing agreements that eventually expire (sounds like a rip off to me, and BB doesn't care about copyrights either anyway, it's a decentralized blockchain so technically they can't ban you for anything once your page is created and also works in crypto for anonymity as well as Visa/MC-censorship-resistance). Assuming $2 ea x 3k subs = $72k a year. Considering if all assets are free/pirated anything beyond that is just being greedy as solo devs can live on even half that easy enough if they don't live in an expensive/overpriced area (ie San Francisco or Manhattan).
Not only that but why would they buy a VN on Steam or anywhere else when it's here for free? That also doesn't even have sex in it. That's like paying $1 a liter for 3% saline solution in the middle of the Pacific. Without the sex it's actually worse, like same scenario only it's dehydrated 3% saline solution (30g of salt only, just add your own 970 mL of pure water).
/shrug apparently even Ocean themselves doesn't know what the A means in AVN, it'd still be rated PG-13 if it was a movie. Who's going to read 1375 or even 10 pages of comments anyway? I mostly just ignore them all, and use search and date narrow it if I'm looking for something in particular like if a sex scene finally happens so I don't waste my time downloading it or whatever (still waiting for MC to knock up Nami).
After decomprssing I get the following error:
Chapter 3, Gym with Bella. Read, or reread the conversation, and try to understand what they talking about.
