Indie Open-World Game Branded 18+ on Steam Triggers Developer Outcry
Valve has slapped Future? No Thanks! with an 18+ rating on Steam for alleged 'pornographic' content, despite the game carrying PEGI 12 and ESRB Teen ratings; developer Molleindustria says the branding is humiliating and surreal after they removed a sex quest and resubmitted. The controversy extends to age checks in the UK under the Online Safety Act that block access to the page without verification, and it echoes past Steam bans like Horses.
