Anything can run on anything if you have enough storage. Computing power is not a problem if you don’t care about frame rate and resolution. We first jumped from 24 FPS to 30, next to 60 and soon we will jump to 120. We jumped from black and white to gray scale to colors, from 16 colors to 256 then to 16bit and so on. From 320x240 to 800x600 to 1024x768 to full hd to 4k and we’re near to 8k. Rendering speed is the real limit.
Yes to all of the above! You just described my gaming childhood (except mine started in amber/ green screen). 80s and 90s were where it was at, as far as videogaming goes. Kids these days don’t know what they’ve missed.
Makes me wonder if Echo Project will have to worry about any of their games. Echo itself doesn’t have explicit sexual content, but it does have violence involving minors, kidnapping, torture, and suggestions of rape.
One of the great mysteries of the 21st century is how a tiny number of US companies control most of the world’s payment processing, when it’s not a technically difficult problem.
You could implement an entire end-to-end payment processing system in a year with a team of a few dozen competent engineers. The only difficulty is getting banks and retailers to sign up to it, but when the big players charge so much and create so much trouble this doesn’t seem like it should be a tough sell. In most cases literally all you’d need to do is charge 2.4% instead of their 3%.
Yall will hate me for it, but porn games should have never been on the main launcher. That’s just asking for trouble. Steam should have a secondary launcher that is just for the adult games, and keep the two seperate. This shit wouldn’t be happening if these games hadn’t been so accessible to people not looking for that in the first place.
Also lets be honest, some of the shit is over the line. There shouldn’t be multiple “Sex with Hitler” games, because as ridiculous as that sounds, normalizing Nazis and Hitler is a fucking virus that does so much fucking harm when spread. Its not just a “silly joke”.
Adult content is opt-in and age verified on steam.
Making an “adult content” launcher would just give more targeted scrutiny. It’s like saying, “here’s the target for you Puritans to attack the while company over!”
The only way I can think that kind of obfuscation could work would be to have the adult content launcher run through a secondary company under license to use steam software. But then, there’s still the pay processing issue, and that license could violate the processor ToS anyways.
I don’t think adult content should be stigmatized and quarantined. Why is a game about cutting terrified victims open with a handsaw cool, but a game about licking a clit needs to be isolated?
You might have a point on problematic content for the same reason that satire is difficult to pull off, but the entire category of “porn” is WAY too broad of a line to draw, and neither should be otsracized completely simply for existing.
