    Steam is OK with porn games. Banks are not. Banks have the power. Steam has to not get debanked.

    I fully expect to have to download a patch from the dev when buying a porn game because of the censorship. If its not on Steam or a few other trusted platforms I won’t bother paying.

    The user adding the “optional” content after purchase make it not Steams problem while getting past bank censorship.

        They probably have more cash money than a lot of banks who haven’t fully marked the value of their assets to market value since about 2008. I don’t actually have a list of who’s who, but creative accounting has been an open secret for some time and will likely become fashionable again either this year or next. Unless someone wants a banking crash or (more likely) is just too stupid to hire anyone that can stop one.

          Because they’d need to be a third payment provider on top of visa and master card to make a real difference in this regard.

      I’m only remarking on the irony that porn developers might have an easier time because they can intentionally develop the clean ‘steam-version’ of their game to pass review without having to declare any contents at all.

        I don’t see why bigger companies couldn’t employ the same tactic other than their clientele is more technically inept.
