Seconded.

Agree or disagree, it won't matter. When you let gamers vote with their wallets, the answer speaks for itself.

I wonder what else we should just keep to voting on with our wallets?

Probably most matters of free speech, here in America.

I am saying that someone who wants incest porn games reinstated on Steam (the GGP commenter) should create that petition.

I’m not that someone; I don’t think Valve has any moral obligation to platform ”any content, as long as it is not illegal”. They have the freedom to choose what they publish. Petition away, see if anyone cares!

From heise

"In 2020, following a complaint from the Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein Media Authority, Valve blocked all titles that were labeled as “adult” and did not have an age rating. To be able to offer them, the US company would have to integrate a reliable age verification system into Steam in Germany. Because Valve has not yet implemented such a system, sex games remain blocked in Germany."

So, I hear Europe doesn't have these problems about puritanical censorship in games......
