It's beyond embarrassing that reviews like this continue to be moderated and allowed by Valve and I honestly don't know what we can do about it.
Steam being festered with fucking nazi losers is the one big sore point that I wish they would take action on, but they don't see them as an issue.

Valve is filled with libertarian tech bros and while it's up to the developers to moderate the discussion forums, reviews unfortunately are up to Valve themselves.
if you're a Steamworks partner it really shouldn't come as a surprise that extremely hateful content like this is allowed in their store

Let it never be forgotten that at the peak of Gamergate unpleasantness, Running With Scissors decided that what their game needed as a Milo Yianopolous cameo and a mission where you kill Tim Schafer.
And then they chastise other people for being 'too political'.

A reminder that it wasn't just the use of AI - players were willing to give the benefit of the doubt that RWS was being duped. It was RWS's absolute horrific attitude towards its fans that killed this game as well and it's suspicious that's not mentioned at all here.

Valve claim this is an absolute line. A key company policy. And immutable fact of the storefront.
Award-winning indie darling Immortality has full-frontal nudity, sex and violence. Fully explicit, while Vile was just implication.
That's not a good way to run a business, I reckon.

I've no time for them. After the (still ongoing) payment processor censorship mess, I'm pretty sure I'm in the 'unless it's actively illegal, let art be unsettling' camp.

Specifically, Valve hate making effort that isn't fun and part of their team's shared obsessions. Half-Life Alyx - their only AAA game in the past decade - launched without basic Steam Workshop tagging. Something all their other games had.

I honestly don't think that Valve will back down even in the face of negative press across the industry, because that will require them to actually address issues. That will require meetings, and discussions, and maybe publishing their content policies where anyone can see them.

As Valve will never admit wrongdoing or their own cartoonish, well-documented inconsistency (because they'd have to re-review SO much and nobody at the company wants to do that), the only option left is to ensure Santa Ragione doesn't go bust. Which means buying games somewhere other than Steam.

Apparently these rules are 100% set in stone and immutable. Which is why Vile, a game with photos and no nudity *is* blocked, while Immortality - full FMV sex scenes - is alllowed

There's a growing number of games that have apparently fallen foul of Steam's 'No because we say so' rule that are still being happily sold on other major storefronts like GOG.
Also recently DreadXP-published game Vile was outright rejected by Steam too, despite containing *nothing* objectionable.
