The reason might be a slippery slope or whatever, but there’s mountains of disgusting visual novel incest fantasy shit, so much that I had to filter out all sexual content from Steam even though I might enjoy occasional Sex With the Devil or some Genital Jousting.
Doing the right thing for the wring reason if you ask me. I don’t think it was ever a good idea to sell incest games in the first place, but banning them because they make payment processors uncomfortable ? Fuck that.
I don’t want payment processors to be the arbiters of what we are allowed to play !
While I personally have absolutely no incestual relationship desires, the only rational reason be against incest is really because there is the consanguinity issue, which can result in genetic deficiencies. Same-sex incest is for example, legal in Ireland and Germany.
Morally speaking… I too find it icky, but I’m pretty sure this is the result of how we were raised to think of it as being icky. As long as everyone involved able to legally consent, and there is no abusive power dynamic in the relationship, I really don’t judge. To each their own! Just don’t involve me in it! LOL
Even opposite-sex incest became legal in Sweden a couple years back. The law previously said “forbidden to have sexual intercourse with a sibling”, but they changed it to “forbidden to have vaginal intercourse with a sibling”. No idea if it was the (right-wing) government’s intention to legalize gay-brother-sex at the same time, but here we are.
AC had randomly generated cosmetics on randomly generated stat loot. Old game so models were limited but colors widely varied.
Trading pieces that “looked good” or sets that matched and had great stats was a huge part of the game economy.
Also was awesome to just have great stats and run around looking like a damn fool.
Miss that game. Golden age of MMOs. We can never go back, and it’s a shame.
Edit: eventually they added in dying as a trade skill, with materials for dyes tough to come by. Success? Good job, your armor is dyed the right color. Mid fail? Your shit is random outrageous colors, no stat change. Low fail?.. Sorry, stats are trash now AND it looks ridiculous. Very sought after trade skill because getting a good stat piece and not wrecking it with a botched dye job meant burning tons and tons of dyes on throwaway armor to level up your skill.
The new dragon age game has this. As long as you don’t care about a good story, the combat is super fun and there are lots of nice quality of life stuff like that. You can reset the skill tree at any point, copy your character’s appearance if you want to start a new play thru.
If the execs didn’t fuck up the story, I think the game would sold big time. Fuckin idiots
Probably because it’s a hell of a lot easier than trying to figure out how to manage payment processing without those processors. Visa and Mastercard are extremely large, and by-and-large the only way to pay online in the US. Add in Paypal and Stripe’s limitations (which are also notoriously shitty) and you don’t really have many options left, so it’s really not worth it. I know the EU has better options, but Steam isn’t based there and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t want to find a way to jump through those hoops.
