CapnAndy posted:There's no way to read that policy other than "start the Rapelay ports". There's kind of a fuzzy line in US obscenity laws on what is and what isn't obscenity, but I'm guessing Valve is going to continue to try and steer clear of any content that could cross that line.

Can't wait until steam is a wasteland of anime furry pornography to the point where the only filter that shows, you know, actual games is "AAA". I can barely believe that they found a solution worse than the halcyon days of Greenlight. They lowered the barrier to entry too far.

At this point I kind of admire Valve's commitment to doing as little work as possible. It reminds me a lot of Facebook in 2016. Deflect all criticism by positioning yourself as a platform instead of an company with real responsibilities, use crowdsourcing and algorithms to do the vast majority of your content creation/curation, and collect huge sums of money by monopolizing the market.

Valve not changing anything at all won't make Auschwitz Simulator 2018 any more of a commercial or socially viable product, guys. Games are made to get money. They don't grow on trees. If only TB was still alive, so that he could bellow us through this frankly embarrassing moral panic.

I have 20,733 games seen on my queue and 20,630 as "Not Interested" and I still get tons of poo poo from the same sweatshop dev making GBS threads out "putin vs ISIS" asset flips.

What is wrong with you people? I might have posted about it when I got to play it at PAX last year but I don't actually remember and it was almost a year ago and the game got delayed by a couple months from their intended release. Got to talk to the lead dev though and he is cool as heck, super nice, and his first question when he found out I was already a Bit.Trip.Runner fan was if I'd managed to finish the first game.

The Kins posted:I seem to only get actual games, but I "only" have 2100 or so games seen on my queue. Frankly, this thread and games sites are more useful than any algorithm can ever be. Without question. As are good curators like Too Shy Guy's Gold-Plated Games. I like to stay on top of the queue because it's the best way to see what has been added to Steam recently and I do honest-to-god find some fun looking things in there like; https://store.steampowered.com/app/770810/Good_Pizza_Great_Pizza/ or https://store.steampowered.com/app/824840/Oi_Innkeep/ I don't think I'd have found either of them without sifting through the shitpile.

I, for one, am glad that valve are fully abdicating their responsibility to curate their store so that we can get thousands more titles like this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/868970/Cut_The_ExGirlfriends/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/791540/Maybe_Drinking_Russian_Style/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/847660/Story_Heaven__Hell/ I mean, I could filter out those tags, but then I'd be filtering out Indie and Adventure.

Dead Cells and Immortal Redneck are my favorites rn of recent games. Both roguelites in the vaguely metroidvania ish and FPS genre respectively.

Keep in mind that Valve have already have a bad reputation of not blocking "illegal" and "troll" content from their store. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/evkp3a/active-shooter-removed-from-steam-by-valve Active Shooter should never have been on the store. The developer/publisher was banned from Steam in 2017, but of course Valve didn't think the guy would ever just set up a new company to get on steam.

How do you suppose Valve defines the concept of endorsing a thing? Would 51% of Valve employees have to draft a notarized letter of approval before Valve felt like maybe they were endorsing something?

I also like their thing of "what is defined as a game". I dunno valve, maybe it can have a loving executable? Don't act like steam has taken money for games that literally don't have an executable.
