That ties into the topic of creating an initiative to get stuff unbanned: it would be necessary to dance around and avoid politics brought by the angriest gamers (pun intended). Then it often becomes a battle of extremes, which is very tiresome. If the anti-censorship gang is usually hardly taken seriously because of its members' tendency to overreact, the same applies to people jumping the gun and wanting anything remotely problematic to be cut or banned (both at Valve and in discussions). Now I can't say I've been following banned games closely, but let me still doubt most of them contained sexual depictions of minors considering how arbitrary some of Steam's decisions can be. The problem with games and VNs being banned is that it all comes down to why exactly Valve banned these titles for, and since they never say anything about that it's up for interpretation. All you can do is speculate at this point. You can't campaign without this formal announcement or confirmation this hypothetical publisher tried to put it on Steam (the database entry will not be enough). Wonderful.īut again whoever is responsible for publishing a DT2 Steam port hasn't formally announced it.
Originally posted by Red:Oookay, so it's up to the players and the press again to raise their voice loud enough that Valve does something about it out of fear of getting bad PR. But because it does have an ESRB rating, it makes Valve look silly so they should make an exception on that basis (so long as the content submitted was identical to the US Vita version).īut again whoever is responsible for publishing a DT2 Steam port hasn't formally announced it.
I do agree some of the bans are erroneous and should be reversed (like Muramasa, Meteor World Actor), but I don't blame Valve for not doing so.Īs for DT2, I personally believe its content is gross and if the ESRB rating for the Vita release didn't exist, it should 100% be banned no questions asked. the only other reasons Chaos Head Noah got unbanned is because it affected Spike Chunsoft (a big player in VN spaces). hat's why the anti-censorship cause is not taken seriously, many of the bans are justified. In fairness Valve would've gotten bad PR for the bannings already if most of the banned games weren't involving sexual depictions of minors. , so it's up to the players and the press again to raise their voice loud enough that Valve does something about it out of fear of getting bad PR. The most preposterous aspect about this alleged denial however, is that the game was already censored in the past, as back in 2015, Western publisher Atlus noted four images in the game would be censored, due to them containing supposedly under-age (yet fictional) girls being highly suggestive.Originally posted by etch:JAST tried to ask Valve about Muramasa and were told Valve is not going to re-review banned games Dungeon Travelers 2, a dungeon-crawling RPG first released on the Vita, was seemingly trying to get a modern release on Steam, but the platform has allegedly denied the developer the opportunity, which might be due to the game’s nearly nude female characters.Īn official announcement wasn’t made on the matter, but the game was viewable on a SteamDB listing, and it is said that when games are “listed in the SteamDB backend but no store page or community page”, they have possibly been rejected or outright banned from Steam.Īn explanation behind this alleged ban/rejection wasn’t specified, though it is suspected the game’s sexier designs for its females was the cause, along with the fact that some of the females also look under-age (as have been reasons for countless titles being rejected from Steam in the past):
