Valve has approved the first pornographic game for release on Steam, hopefully bringing to an end the tumultuous saga of adult-only games and sexual censorship on the platform. Suffice to say, NSFW WARNING.
Dharker Studios’ Negligee: Love Stories is the first such game to be given the go-ahead. Originally backed to the tune of £14,448 on Kickstarter, Negligee features full nudity, graphic depictions of sex, and sexual dialogue, all uncensored. The censored pick below is from the Kickstarter campaign and gives us some idea of what we're dealing with here. Your imagination is somewhat required as they've had to do some heavy-handed censoring to bypass Kickstarter rules and regs.
Negligee: Love Stories is the first game to be added with Steam’s new ‘Adult Only Sexual Content’ filter. By default, Adult Only Sexual Content is disabled from appearing in the Steam store and you must enable this content in your preferences.
To view the Negligee Steam store page you also must be logged into Steam, and the page itself throws up a warning suggesting it may contain content that isn’t appropriate for all ages. It’s a similar warning to those seen in ultra-violent titles, although it also includes a lengthy description of the sexual content that’s included, as per Valve’s new Adult Only Sexual Content guidelines.
Head through to the game page and there’s also a new section where the Mature Content Description is housed. This is designed to warn customers of what the game may include prior to purchase. Negligee: Love Stories sounds like quite a wild ride, and includes the following:
“Negligee: Love Stories features four story-lines that frequently include dialogue of sexual themes, sexual interactions and nudity and through them illustrations featuring nudity, undressing and sexual interactions as well.
“The four stories include male and female sexual relations, female and female sexual relations, themes relating to pressured sexual relationships, themes relating to nymphomania, themes relating to adult sex workers, themes relating to abusive marriages and adultery.
“Scenes within the game include illustrated and dialogue descriptions of male and female single partner sexual relationships, modelling, outdoor sexual activity, male and female multiple partner sexual activity and female and female single partner sexual relationships.”
That’s a whole lot of sex then, and it looks as if these guidelines are going to be the Steam standard going forward. It’s still all a bit creepy when they make the girls look about 15, but I guess Dharker Studio will suggest they’re of legal age in-game. They certainly look like girls more than women so, er, happy perving I guess.

Steam already hard porn games, this is far from being the first, I can name a few - if needed -
PC Specs
This is a place for availability of such content for people with taste for such content. However, Steam is a mainstream platform and they should not have changed their stance on such content owing to social media backlash or negative PR. Just because Steam is a digital selling platform doesn't mean they have to sell every type of content and they shouldn't be forced to either.
PC Specs
The backlash against Steam has been SJWs demanding they stop selling various games. The opposite of what you describe. And it seems they disagree with you. So exactly which platform is the place for such content, which SJWs won't attack?
PC Specs
The agenda of SJWs are misrepresented and used for just about anything right now by almost any fame hog. So I get your point. However, there are places where such content is available as those platforms are built to sell such content. Steam sold adult games with a censored patch in most cases. SJW attack so they removed games and now they are doing the absolute opposite. My point is they shouldn't swing the pendulum in extreme either way. The OG stance was good enough.
PC Specs
I'm not a fan of the term 'SJW', but that collective, as a whole, isn't going to target content for being sexual, that just doesn't fly with the ethos, and suggests a misunderstanding on your part of what they represent. Sexual content that's blatantly underage, or sexual violence? Yeah, that'll come under fire.
PC Specs
Have to disagree. Can't remember the name of the collective but there's a group out there with intentions of targeting games like The Witcher and Mass Effect which do not it the bill of what you describe. I am not saying SJW causes aren't justified. Quite the contrary as they do good work. Let me explain. I am saying we have to differentiate between legit causes and fame hogs. Companies these days have a hair trigger reaction to anything said by any social justice group.
PC Specs
What is this sjw?
PC Specs
I wonder if PhenomFaz can even see how many times he contradicted himself here.
PC Specs
good point :)
PC Specs
I think it's a good thing they allow it now. Everyone their own choice on what they want to play or not. You can even turn off a setting, so you won't ever see such games in the store. Besides, Why should violence be treated differently than Nudity / Sexual Content ?
I don't think anyone "Forced" Steam to do this. But rather people requested for such games to be allowed.
PC Specs
Well, shut up and take my money!
PC Specs
Sure sure...it is the first pornographic game and Nekopara is not.
PC Specs
As if it is going to stop 13-year-olds from creating an ID stating their age to be 18+ in order to access the game.
PC Specs
It's harder to access that content than it is to access PornHub, so there's that.
PC Specs
But not every person loving 2d would also love 3d, isn't it?
PC Specs
wow I've seen this in Stein's Gate but I didn't know peopled talked like this in real life
PC Specs
why not?
PC Specs
Ooh a steins gate fan! BTW I exactly know one idiot who favors 2d over 3d.
PC Specs
neckbeards assemble!

An old friend of mine used to say,
There is 1 axiom that is true in every age.
Women can't have too large breasts.
Wonder how this game will interpret it.
Personally I'm more in favor of smaller ones.
If women read this, this is a intended as a light hearted comment with no offense intended.
PC Specs
Yup I agree with you, big breasts are not really erotic for me, it rather turns me off. For example look at the second girl, that's frigging huge and pig-ish, but on contrary look at third one, right proportions
PC Specs
I get what you mean.
Tho appearance isn't that important to me. If you can have a good time with your girlfriend & you enjoy each others company the visual stuff losses importance.
PC Specs
How is this the first approved XXX Adult game on Steam? "House Party" has been on Steam since 30th of June 2017 (House Party if no one knew is a game to get laid at a party, with one or multiple of the girls, yes not censored at all, dicks, Vagines and tits everywhere if you had to play your cards right)
PC Specs
"... may contain ... " ?!? Really? Do you have naked anime girls? Check!
It contains stuff no man should want to see.
PC Specs
Here we go again

Sound Steam-y! Someone had to post it. Down vote now...
PC Specs
Nah, it's worth an upvote and a +1!
PC Specs
Already mentioned it, meh..
PC Specs
Then you get one too!
PC Specs
:*
PC Specs
Honestly, I couldn't care less. As long as the games aren't allowed to venture into the land of lolicon I really don't care what kind of content the game has. It's clearly marked and actually harder to view than real porn on the internet.
PC Specs
Do you really not love the lolis or afraid of lolicops breaking down the door (or firewall)?
PC Specs
Nope, I find it disgusting af.
PC Specs
I see..... well here's an upvote, since I agree with you
PC Specs
@Jon I See u Started playing a New Genre of Games (Lenny-Face)
PC Specs
Jon is a writer pro and doesn't throw a towel against any challenge encountered xD
PC Specs
Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team
PC Specs
Valve should have just released a spin-off marketplace, called "Steamy" and release all the porno stuff there ;)
PC Specs
Honestly, It's good to see Steam is finally accepting sexual tinted content.
I personally never did understand why cutting someone's head off, is okay to show, but nudity. NO WAY! .. xD
PC Specs
It's like prostitution: Fücking is legal, selling is legal...why is selling fücking not legal?! Selling someone an orgasm is hardly a bad thing xD
PC Specs
Without protection, it is a bad thing.
