Valve Says It Will Now Allow Everything on Steam Unless It's Illegal or "Straight-up Trolling"

Yeah. But there are plenty of people like that, who are let's say information-challenged. Even a good friend of mine who has been gaming since the NES days purchased Metal Gear Solid: Grounds Zero thinking it was the full game. I completely skipped that game, knowing it was a glorified demo, and that it would either be included in The Phantom Pain, or I would look up the story on youtube.

On that subject, I still don't understand how Life of Black Tiger was allowed on PS4. Not only that, but they even promoted it with a trailer on the official Playstation Youtube account. I would feel a bit bad for a person who purchased it unwittingly.
I think the story of how this happened is one of the most underrated mysteries in the history of videogames. I assume it involves someone kidnapping a family member of the CEO of Sony.

As for the visual novel controversy with Valve, I remember that case. Or at least one of them if there were several. At first glance I wasn't sure I could spot Valve's justification for it. But after someone here showed me a clip, I could see some pedophile-ish themes in the game. I can understand the backlash they received for removing such games though.

"information challenged"?, as in mentally handicapped?. I can understand if you're telling me there are plenty of people, who use Steam and are mentally handicapped, but at the same time I find that hard to believe, simply because I've seen no media push, no survey and no coverage of a large number of those people using Steam. 

IF you don't know how to use youtube, word of mouth, or even judging something for yourself, then I'm sorry but you'll need to seek help from someone else, and even then, that doesn't become something of your own decision, it eventually becomes the other person's.

He thought it was the full game, despite media outlets, youtube, twitter and the like all talking about it. Your friend would have to be literally living off the grid to not know what was going on, surrounding such a well loved, well talked about and well known franchise. 

 

I don't know how LobT was allowed either, let alone how to this day, it's youtube video still remains on Sony's YT channel. We've had numerous folk like Jim sterling and those around the net pointing out it's poor quality though. 

You know what remains a current mystery to me?. How SE is sorting out Chrono Trigger on Steam, yet they only did this now when the voices grew louder. The other FF games ported straight from mobile to PC still remain in the same state as their day 1 release, and people voiced their dislikes for that outcome. People complained about Square not patching Nier, yet SE hasn't done anything about it. Only CT remains the one game where they scurried towards sorting it out. 

The other bigger issue I have, is how EA is legally selling Battlefront I and Titanfall 1 on PC when those two games are online based and are quite literally dead. You are essentially buying those two games, to then do nothing with them. No private servers, no modding to make them run with LAN games, no nothing. And they are somehow allowed to get away with it because they aren't the big fat target that Steam is. 

The issue with VN's is that some of them can be tame, others not so much. It's when those non tame ones start popping up at the front page of the store, does that become a glaring issue, when you're trying to sell to as many age groups as possible.
