Robazoid 05/19/18 6:23:55 PM #10:	I'm fine with Steam deciding what games it wants to host (ideally they'd just create some sort of 18+ storefront for these types of games, but whatever), but I hate the fact that they aren't giving developers any information for why this is happening. Even if they wanted to abide by these new rules, they have no idea what problems they even need to fix. Apparently there's just total silence from Valve. That, coupled with the double-standard of this only impacting anime-style VN games, and I'm honestly going to be very disappointed in Steam unless they clarify (or reverse) their position. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:901642143] in Valve crac...
