Well, that’s unsurprising. As with most things, it’s a power law distribution… But even without statistics, we all know there a handful of bestseller games (triple-As, or simply popular, often more expensive), a big pile of “regular games” (good but just less successful) and an unyielding stream of slop.
And the result is that the bestsellers outshines everything else in revenue, and the slop outshines everything in sheer amount.
This would just happen naturally anyway, unless you were actively preventing it. But having a large platform like steam a recommendation system for advertising amplifies the effect a bit further.
I don’t have a problem with adult games per se. But you gotta admit that a lot of them are just low quality slop. And it’s not even just porn, steam is full or simply bad games, pure plain slop.
I think porn is just straight up an even more extreme distribution of the garbage to not garbage ratio. There can be such a thing as a good adult game. But I think the public will just buy gacha pornography while AI churns out the game equivalent to porn tapes like its the 1980s.
Yes I know it exists but do people actually like it? For me it just felt like a disconnect of artwork and gameplay aka lazy design. I was thinking of “Sex and the Furry Titty”
when i was doing my work-life orientation from school to a hardware store, they had me in a hidden corner doing computer stuff so i did my work fast and then played porn newgrounds games and read screenshot let’s plays on the something awful forums.
I have a friend who does review/that curator thing on steam specifically for porn games, It’s a fucking nightmare because of him my recommendations is fucked, every slop appears to me like: One friend is enjoying this game.
the feature i’m imagining would be to make it so more than one friend would have to be “enjoying this game” to bother you with it, so it would make a difference unless you have multiple pervert friends
There’s AI slops without disclosure for sure. How the disclosure works I don’t really know but I think is the author that fills it, steam probably does force it with reports or automatic detection too but these low quality slops with 10-100 reviews they don’t really care.

If anything, I am sure the distribution got funnier once Steam let porn in
I don’t have a problem with adult games per se. But you gotta admit that a lot of them are just low quality slop. And it’s not even just porn, steam is full or simply bad games, pure plain slop.
And with AI it will get worse.
I think porn is just straight up an even more extreme distribution of the garbage to not garbage ratio. There can be such a thing as a good adult game. But I think the public will just buy gacha pornography while AI churns out the game equivalent to porn tapes like its the 1980s.
Does anyone actually want to play bejeweled while jerk off?
The existence of Huniepop answered that question already.
What does that mean?
Behold, Bejeweled whilst jerking off
Yes I know it exists but do people actually like it? For me it just felt like a disconnect of artwork and gameplay aka lazy design. I was thinking of “Sex and the Furry Titty”
i spent a lot of time on newgrounds before learning there was porn you didn’t have to work for
when i was doing my work-life orientation from school to a hardware store, they had me in a hidden corner doing computer stuff so i did my work fast and then played porn newgrounds games and read screenshot let’s plays on the something awful forums.
I hope not
That ship has sailed.
I have a friend who does review/that curator thing on steam specifically for porn games, It’s a fucking nightmare because of him my recommendations is fucked, every slop appears to me like: One friend is enjoying this game.
There’s a lot of AI slop in there already.
you can turn off adult games entirely, i forget whether you can disable friend-related recommendations or set the floor to more than one.
I doubt you can disable it and the floor doesn’t make much difference because he is the only one that buy games constantly.
There is various Mature Content Filtering that’s pretty granular. That should let you disable most.
I had to enable all of it to see some of the games I want to engage with.
the feature i’m imagining would be to make it so more than one friend would have to be “enjoying this game” to bother you with it, so it would make a difference unless you have multiple pervert friends
You can disable the adult games in steam for sure. Maybe some slip through but there is an option
Doesn’t Steam at least list AI use? Or is that just voluntary disclosure that nobody does?
There’s AI slops without disclosure for sure. How the disclosure works I don’t really know but I think is the author that fills it, steam probably does force it with reports or automatic detection too but these low quality slops with 10-100 reviews they don’t really care.
Nowadays if you go to the “new releases” tab on the steam store page, it’ll be like 30% hentai games.
