Go back to pestering other people with your agenda. That's a stupid thought process, we're going to forget you said anything, leave us alone. This is simply Valve overreacting to a situation that they can simply solve by looking at a group like this and going. Yes, there are patches that you are able to buy from Sekai Project or Denpasoft, the actual developers themselves, to uncensor a game but you have to go through them for that version or patch and it has nothing to do with Steam. There is very little issue I would take with any of these games being as bad as that group has made it out to be. After playing these, all through Steam too, there is one thing I can safely say.
#If my heart had wings patch steam 2018 series#
Some about romance, some about everyday life, some about very interesting and conflicting topics like in the Grisaia series (honestly, watch the anime version). They usually all have interesting stories. Sound of Drop, If My Heart Had Wings, Sunrider Academy, and a lot more. All of the Nekopara games, which they also Kickstarted a really well done OVA out of. All the Grisaia games, which they ended up Kickstarting a fantastic anime version of. What suddenly is the problem with any of these visual novels, other than a bunch of overly concerned Christian wackos want to censor things ? Devs and gamers and it was incredibly shocking to see games that were never a problem, instantly become a problem even though nothing about them has changed. When thousands of people complain that there are too many of these asset flips from gamers to developers, Steam ignores it, there isn't a problem, it isn't an issue.Ĭoming back to the visual novel issue, the problem is this, no one ever heard anything about this nor saw it coming. These games which involve barely credible people to purchase assets from the different engine stores, throw them together in a mish-mashed map and as long as they pay, Valve will stick the absolute pig shit that they call a "game" up on their service. Previously through Steam Greenlight and now through Steam Direct. They allow a massive influx of these incomplete, beyond half-assed, piece of shit, asset flips using Unity, the Unreal Engine, CryTek engine, and more onto the service.
One of my biggest complaints against Valve doing something this asinine is this. It won't be too big an issue." A lot of people have taken it as a big issue from the developers who are suddenly having their life works cut from under them and for the gamers who enjoy these games. Yet, Valve has figured that it's easiest to just give in to a group like this and go, "alright alright we give up, leave us the fuck alone for awhile and we'll take down the visual novels. These were top selling games on the service, none of which had any issues from launch until just recently, none of which changed any of their content during that time or since.
That means if these games did contain any of that kind of content that these developers even go out of their way to create an edited version for Steam.įor years, higher grossing games on Steam were visual novels like the Nekopara games, the Grisaia series, the Sakura series, and puzzle/novel games like Hunnie Pop. That even if there is sexual content in the game, that nothing contained is pornographic because that would receive an Adults Only (AO) rating and thus would be removed from the service. Yet, visual novels are a niche genre, with a small group of people that enjoy them and they can contain sexual content, though not all do, however being so niche means it is small and easy prey for vulture activist groups.Ī lot of visual novels, again not all, can be risque and have always been a thing on Steam that has been borderline but all of the publishers have done everything to stay in compliance with Valve's terms and guidelines for the service. It's hard to tackle games like Mass Effect or Grand Theft Auto, taking on juggernaut franchises that have sexual content and expecting them to get taken off a service is foolish but it's not to say they aren't trying. They want all sexual content gone and like I said, visual novels were their easiest target. Joking aside, I don't think it is funny that, to quote Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, "a bunch of ill-informed, busy-bodied, wanktards" to think that their heavy Christian beliefs and values are how everyone should be and what everyone should follow.
