cvertainly the best idea is to read his insane rants, post them all over the place so other people see them, talk about him. god forbid everyone just ignores the insane guy and instead feeds his attention seeking behavior.

chaos head noah has no sexual content in it at all, even in the original japanese pc release. it does have gore, but thats it.

steam seems to have someone on their end who just arbitrarily bans any visual novel with school uniforms in it, even if there's no sexual content. a few yuri games have gotten hit despite no sexual content. likewise, outright porn games get through because they dont have school uniforms or arent visual novels.

This is what I last read, I guess I missed whatever other conversation that was had about it since then

Kind of? If it wasn't for these posts, I might have accidentally bought the game during a sale. I'm thankful to whoever posted his previous rant here because that spared me a bit of personal disgust at having funded that gobshite.

here you go man, we got a whole thread title out of it

Det_no posted:

The Expression Amrilato is the game whose "ban" MangaGamer claimed was an attack of the LGBT community and blah blah blah.
It features a scene of 17 year olds bathing together, one topless and with nipples censored by steam. Upon further review the game was released a week later.

Det_no posted:

Incidentally, the last time a MangaGamer title got banned they also raised a huge stink about Valve being mean and unjust and lying about there being porn in the game files and woops turns out there were 78 uncensored files locked away in the all-ages version, meaning players couldn't access them but Valve still DID have schoolgirl porn on their servers.

After throwing a fit, quote, "Possibly missing the removal of 2 CGs out of hundreds does not make the fact that we took painstaking care to remove all adult content from the All-Ages build any less true.", MangaGamer removed the offending porn and the game was put back on the store in an incident that, to this day, MangaGamer depicts as:

quote:

As some of you may already be aware, on July 28th, Valve suddenly removed Bokuten Why I Became an Angel from the Steam storefront for false, invalid reasons. However, thanks to the support this title received from fans and the community, Valve was willing to meet with us and discuss the matter.

After further investigation from both sides, a valid issue with the previous Steam build of Bokuten was discovered and corrected, so now the title is back on Steam for everyone to enjoy!

You know that a game is really high quality when literally every visual element on the screen has it's own pixel size, different from everything else.

I knew nothing about the game so took a look, naively thinking it might be about Joan of Arc since 'La Pucelle' was her nickname, but no. This is some JRPG where a not-Joan-of-Arc female lead works for a demon-hunting organisation called La Pucelle (french for a female virgin) together with her brother Culotte (french for knickers).

Never change, Japan.

My favourite part of Disgaea is when the demon frog with the hokey French accent coins the phrase "Napoleon Bonerhard"

That example was too specific otherwise.

I hear valve is taking a stance on titty vns which makes this situation make less sense

I'm pretty sure he finished before his bigotry snapped back into place. Waaaay too specific

This is a dude who has one narrative and isn't going to back down until he's vindicated... so, never. He's outright hostile even to people who clearly support him & his views but are also trying to warn him that his messaging and insistence are only pushing more people away, including them.

I think anybody who was going to form an opinion about him and his game have already done so - at this point, we're just watching to see how low he's going to go. If Steam is ever going to take any kind of action about this sort of poo poo, it's apparently going to have to get a lot worse first, and that's something worth keeping in the discussion, even on this dead gay forum. It's not going to help any to say "we told you so" when this sort of thing ends up having irl ramifications, but at least there will be receipts for someone in the future to look at and go "yeh, let's not do this again."

I liked Backbone, but it suffered heavily from a weird late-game genre swerve and having been cut down drastically from a much more ambitious Kickstarter pitch. It sounds like this one is being designed from day 1 with less ambitious, more achievable design goals, which will hopefully help.
