This is regarding the porn games, chucklenuts. They already removed Hatred and the like.
https://steamdb.info/app/4495510/
They allowed this game on their platform for two weeks and only removed it because the developer requested the removal lol
Slavery simulator is an allowed genre on Steam.
It’s crazy that people are genuinely offended by low effort ragebait shovelware.
This has always been the case. Here’s an incredibly popular game that allows slavery.

Rimworld also includes forced organ harvesting and a host of other war crimes
They also allow murder simulators, drug dealing simulators, genocide simulators, etc
As far as games go, a game that dresses up slavery with a bunch of innuendo is incredibly mild.
I don’t think I need to go into detail how those two games differ, right?
It’s just about the same difference as between the games “Prison Architect” and “KZ Manager”.
But surely KZ Manager just dresses up systemic mass murder with a bunch of innuendo. It’s just some silly satire!
it’s not even the only one. a few years ago People Make Games made a video on valve, mentioning among other things the game “tyrone vs cops” which is a blatantly racist “satirical” game, which was allowed on steam. i checked recently, to see if the game had been removed since.
not only is it still there, it’s gotten multiple sequels, and is officially rated as playable on steam deck. valve does not give a shit about racism on their platform.
a horrifically misogynistic rape simulator was left there untouched until a group of anti-porn puritans got the payment processors involved, which is what got us into this whole mess with nsfw games. had valve given a shit about moderating hate on their platform this likely wouldn’t have happened.
