Well, to be honest, I have no fucking clue.

I can only talk about the facts Ocean has published officially on his discord - and to a certain degree that was told to me via DM's on discord.

What we know is, that Ocean wanted the 16+ Rating.
Ocean has checked the checkbox for "Frequent Nudity" with Rare.
Just because the game client contains roughly 15k renders and 1.3% of it are nude or partially nude.

Moronic Steam decided that 1.3% is way to much to be categorised are "Rare" and forced Ocean to change it to "Often"

Till now the game could be accessible from Germany without jumping through loops.

But it looks like that the complete geo-blocking shit is not tied to the 16+ or Adult Only Rating but to "Frequent Nudity Often"

And at this point SG was of the table for my fellow Germans, but the game has received the 16+ rating.
i bet steam looked at SG and saw that it looked like all other AVNs on their store and told him to put "often"

I'm enjoying my full playthrough of Summers Gone Season 1.

It's early in the full season 1 rev but I've found that the dialogue has been improved and flows much better now.

I'm reminded how we actually have adult role models - Nojiko and Nick - who genuinely act like parents versus creepy landlords.

This scene with Noji and Nika on the porch in the early morning hours, all to: Beza - Watching From The Stars is just so good!

IMO - these kinds of scenes are worth the loss of a few nudes so that the music can remain.

This is part of what makes Summers Gone special to me.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Will the steam sales make up for the inevitable crash in patreon support knowing this game is gonna be sanitized to hell? If its a hit on steam sure, but generally does it make up the difference? I see a lot of devs do this and just lose their fandom or create negative word of mouth. Just doesn't seem worth it if you want a dedicated following.

Or you could... you know... play that song on Youtube instead and played the AVN with actual adult parts in the game...
