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”
The fuckin nerds on this website find the dorkiest fuckin’ sex games, I swear. Tortured puns, too. Where are your heart-wrenching, kinky VNs???
I can attest a personal anecdote: an ex of mine was extremely into Huniepop, but I think it’s at least 80% irony poisoning. It was basically all a big silly joke to her, which did not stop her putting like 30 hours into it. Huniepop was a huge, huge meme, and not a good one. I also won’t discount that people might enjoy these purely on the basis that they engage your brain more than just video would? I have also seen people suggest that horny mechsploitation games would do with a dash of 90s mech simulator combat, to make the player really work for it.
So like, I dunno, I would think a pure VN would work better though.
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.

And with AI it will get worse.

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

Well yeah that’s what I’m saying. How is bejeweled better than no bejeweled
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.

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?
