They released the script for it. Last I heard it is pretty dead.

#4Ah, great, another company that wishes to profit off content while attempting to wash its hands of the implications of that content.
Offering something for sale on a platform, or store, or "aggregator" as we're now calling it, is endorsement. If you take their money, you take the rest.

#5Does this mean adult content is now allowed on Steam?

I'm not understanding your objection with this. They distribute explicitly legal video games for a small take.
They draw the line at supporting anything illegal. What are the implications that are so damning to you?

#8I hope they still have some quality control to prevent things like malicious software, I like gated communities as long as I can get around the gates. Perhaps they can have some approval status that we can filter by.

#9This marks the death of any hope that Valve will ever manually curate the store. If they can't be bothered removing school shooter or hentai games, they will definitely never be bothered to remove games that are just plan bad.
The best hope of cleaning up the store is to increase the Steam Direct fee to $500. This will remove the low-end junk that is clogging it up and allow more breathing space for legitimate commercial games. I don't see how having thousands of games which sell single digits worth of copies is beneficial for anyone - Valve, Game Devs, or Gamers.
Valve should also have an annual clear out of games which have sold fewer than 50 copies.

I'd pay for a good school shooter game. Pico's School was the game that practically put newgrounds on the map. One of the most popular Starcraft UMS RPG's was Highschool RPG, the school shooter was a popular character.
