Poopfeast420, (edited ) do games w Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer

This is an old article BTW, and it’s apparently not really true? Or at least different than what the article makes it seem.

Rumors are not facts

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumors that Steam doesn’t allow NSFW games to release free updates, only paid DLCs.

This is simply not true.

Since our game’s release, we’ve rolled out numerous free updates, with the latest major content update dropping just three days ago.

Steam hasn’t officially changed its policies, and there’s no rule in the Terms of Service supporting this claim.

These rumors stem from a handful of vague NSFW game developer announcements with no solid backing.

We will continue to release free updates in the future.

Have a great day!

(I can’t view the link myself, because of a regional block, so I’m trusting another comment, that the quote I copied is correct.)

The article talks about games that are marked adult-only with warnings, but apparently the problem is only with games that don’t have any NSFW content yet, so they are technically SFW, and they want to add it through updates or patches. Games that already have NSFW content will be able to receive patches as normal, and add more.

19th of September 2025, seem fresh enough to me, and the game isn’t the same. Maybe they once again changed their policy.

But the fact that it wasn’t NSFW at first may have worked in their defavor, that’s true.

Poopfeast420,

Two weeks is ancient, when it comes to stuff like this, in my opinion.

The thing is, the article doesn’t make it clear, that this is about technically SFW games, that add NSFW content later down the line.

I don’t know if that’s a new policy because of the recent issues or if it was always a policy, just not enforced.

Maybe. We’ll see. I didn’t see it on the community, I through, considering how active the subject was at first, that it would be of interest to the community.

FH5 was fun at first but agreed, the unending FOMO event system just kind of sucked the joy out of it awhile. Just let people play the game.

More importantly, though, just fuck the whole XBox/Microsoft gaming system in general. I was dumb enough to FH5 through the Microsoft store back when I had Windows, so I can’t install it on Linux.

And even if you buy it on another platform like Steam and sign in with the same account, it considers a “separate purchase/subscription” so none of your dlc or cars carry over. Just anti-consumer as fuck.

Manticore,

To make it worse, I found out the hard way that FH4 on Steam doesn’t have wheel support, so if I wanted to use a wheel (with full FFB support, not just a wheel pretending to be an Xbox controller), I had to re-buy on the Microsoft store.

Really, for most people, there’s not much reason to buy the new ones, except that they keep de-listing the old ones and making them impossible to buy.

goferking0,

Oh so that’s why I couldn’t get it working on fh4. Then again it was pretty awful to use a wheel on fh5.

pycorax,

Really, for most people, there’s not much reason to buy the new ones, except that they keep de-listing the old ones and making them impossible to buy.

Isn’t that because of music licenses or something? I wish they’d just patch those out for people who buy it after the licenses expire.

bollybing,

They also delist previous titles from stores. Forza 4 disappeared a while ago, 5 will be gone soon. Wouldn’t want anyone buying the older, cheaper, maybe better titles instead of the latest one.

Does it have an actual game embedded in it somehow? Like you solve a puzzle or something that is hidden in clues within the shows?

Krauerking,

Nope. There is an overarching story happening if you want to pay attention but they just recorded a bunch of absurdist content and charge you to watch it in their own software.

Its like a streaming platform where you literally have to watch the previous episode to get the next.

wetbeardhairs,

Oh. If that’s really the case then it is much less exciting. That almost sounds like some kind of boring fine arts thesis.

Krauerking,

It was originally aired weekly on a schedule like real TV for that gameboy with a crank looking console, Playdate.

That console constantly feels like arts thesis projects.

wetbeardhairs,

That thing is special.

That looks really interesting, but I’m just left wondering what the objective is, or what kind of gameplay is actually there.

Krauerking,

Its about watching FMVs made by the team that made Thank Goodness you’re Here.

Essentially you are paying a one time fee to the weirdest streaming platform ever.

jaaake,

It’s not the team that made Thank Goodness You’re Here. It’s the same publisher that also published Thank Goodness You’re Here. That’s the equivalent of two different streaming shows that are both exclusive to the same service.

Zorque,

If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.

Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.

jaaake,

It’s not. There’s no gameplay here. It’s just streaming weird content.

OMG, this is like the best/worst time to be working on a two-hour video about the first game. I guess I better get cracking on finishing it up.

Please post the video on games/pcgaming when you are done.

Soma is one of my favourite games of all time. Finished it two sittings (needed a break for sleep). I think it took me longer than most, but I was also exploring the world a lot.

MetaStatistical,

Will do! One of my favorites as well, which is part of the reason why I’m working on this thing.

Didn’t 5 just release this year? Why are we already talking about 6?

RamenJunkie,

FH5 came out in 2021.

…what year is it

And009,

Atleast two years since covid-19

DesolateMood,

Fh5 was released on PlayStation this year. It was released on Xbox like 4 or 5 years ago

Japan setting, something is be gonna blurry/censored. 😆

Why? The porn thing?

LoremIpsumGenerator,

Exactly 😅

RamenJunkie,

Blaster_M, do games w Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed

Controversial take: FH5 is entertaining, and the weeklys are a challenge to knock out every time.

Except for when The Trial decides to run The Colossus as one of the races. I’ll just grind the 5pointers instead, it’s quicker.

RamenJunkie,

I enjoyed FH5, but FH4 was better. 5 is the onky one I don’t actually own yet, I basically did everything at launch during a Gamepass trial. I plaued FH4 almost daily for like a year or more.

Older article, but I just read about the game/concept and I thought I would share since I couldn’t find anything about Blippo+ on this community.

this may be a me problem but FH5 really didn’t do much for me. every game needing to be a forever game with unlimited constantly renewing stuff to do kinda sucks the fun out of single player games

and i don’t think this will be that much different in that regard even if japan sounds cool

bassomitron,

Agreed. FH4 and 5 are fun, but the monetization is obnoxious and it often felt clunky just to get into fun racing activities quickly.

ms_lane,

Also the intro threw me off right away, at least in 4 there was still a veneer of you starting as a lowly pleb, 5 was just “YOU’RE THE SUPERSTAR!!!” right from second one and it was just patronising.

snooggums,

Turning off the dialigue so the cut scenes were just people standing around was the best improvement for me.

calliope, (edited )

It’s not just you! Forza Horizon has been the main series of video game I looked forward to. I loved 3 and 4.

It didn’t take long for 5 to concentrate fully on the weekly bullshit and making the game more about puzzles and Hot Wheels-style excitement than driving.

This is the first Horizon game in over a decade that I couldn’t care less about. It just feels like a sad shell of the previous games.

criss_cross,

I remember seeing a cool driving thing to do only to be told “you need to pay X to do it”

Nah

Takashiro, do games w Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed

Given the sales success of Horizon 5 this one will probably be even worse, they will expand on everything bad that was Horizon 5.

absquatulate, (edited ) do games w Forza Horizon 6 Japan setting confirmed

Seeing the series’ progression so far, I just know microsoft will stuff it full of FOMO crap and monetization, as well as a lot of AI generated stuff ( which, admittedly, may not be all bad ). But still, I’m pretty excited for it.

Hell yeah! I’ve actually been thinking that I haven’t heard from them in a while.
