Six days old account and already "knows" all there is to know about the contributors here. Remarkable.

welcome Taco, welcome Dave!

:D

That's kind of a weird statement. If I drink alcohol as an adult, me not wanting for children to have access to it shouldn't hold any value?

I dug a little bit, and found this userscript: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/u0wRz/userscript-nsfw-games-filter

Looking at the code, it relies on a non-documented API endpoint:

https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=${appid}

It seems to return JSON data with info about the game, among the results is an array of "content descriptors" IDs:

data[${appid}].data.content_descriptors.ids

I couldn't find any official documentation for it, best I could find i could find is this old page.

(PS: be careful hitting this API too many times, you can quickly get throttled or worse)

Now seeing how the script uses it: https://github.com/Xeloses/sg-nsfw-filter/blob/master/sg-nsfw-filter.user.js#L378

the values 1 to 5 indicate:

• 5 = General Mature Content
• 2 = Frequent Violence or Gore
• 1 = Some Nudity or Sexual Content
• 4 = Frequent Nudity or Sexual Content
• 3 = Adult Only Sexual Content

The script by default considers 3 & 4 to be NSFW games, and filters them as such.

The badge how old the account is on steam could be used for this.
One can assume that the minimum age of a person is 16+ badge level.

Nope, I have adult only content blocked on steam and still see it here.

Yeah, games like The Witcher 1, 2 & 3 all have explicit nudity, heavy sexual themes and so on. Cyberpunk generally is even completely on the same tier as any random porn game with the fact that you can run with your cock out and fuck everyone with nothing else happening in the game just like how there's porn games where you can avoid sex entirely.

(here in italy/europe we already had similar cases and sites have been forced to apply age verification)

parents really need to monitor

i might be wrong but i guess it doesn't work that way

For parents to do that, they must understand what their kids are doing. Judging from what I see at work, being a teacher, a not too small percentage of parents have no clue what can be done with a modern phone, what kind of games can be played on Steam (and so on), the workings of pay 2 win and so on. Many are not willing to think about these topics either.

nice.

maybe this site just needs that security theater of asking "U 18 bro?"

they would still see the banner art here on SG which does include nudity.

Unfortunately Family View doesn't affect SG and anyone can preview Screenshots and Videos for any AO giveaway directly

Indeed, I've considered this issue and decided that Valve are the ultimate gateway for "protecting" minors from love whilst allowing them limitless access to violence in games playable only on Steam... ;-)

It may be that in the (near) future some countries start forcing all web sites offering any access to "adult" content (what an utterly stupid term!) to actually implement proof of age, which will cause major/fatal problems for some web sites, as well as add serious privacy concerns (but the proposals along these lines I've seen here in the UK only seem to apply to "big" providers, even though the proposed laws are still too stupid to pass - but then this is the country that can't tell the difference between incontinence and sexual pleasure so made viewing of both peeing and squirting a criminal offence...).

I make giveaways here regardless of any possible age restrictions, since I don't consider it the giveaway creator's job to do any sort of age verification whatsoever, that would just be insanity. We're all adults here (whether real or pretend, and age is only one factor in that!)

I'm a test-tube bunny, but apart from that I entirely agree. :-)

users ...muse about

had to google it :P

I don't like anything gambling related in games for any ages tbh, at least not in the sense you're spending real money on it. That said, when it comes to violence and sexual content, the reason I'm more forgiving of violence comes down to the simple fact, I can explain to a child that violence is inherently bad, has consequences, and should never be something they turn to unless for self preservation. This is an easy enough task to accomplish as even children are naturally prone to thinking about and committing acts of violence, they simply may not be aware of the impact it can have, or the consequences, and that's why discussing it is key.

However, when it comes to sexual content, I can't outright say sex is bad, and it can take a fair amount longer for them to even have thoughts related to sexuality, so getting into a complex conversation about when or how it's good or bad, when it's something that may not even be on their mind... Good chance it can lead to confusion.

Now that's not all to say that I think violence is more acceptable than sexual content in games for younger people, it's more or less just to say that violence is something you'll be able to discuss more appropriately from an earlier age. In the end, neither form of content has a specific age in which it becomes acceptable, these are things that will be acceptable to allow at different periods of development, based on the natural growth and intellectual levels of the child. Regardless though, there still should be limits in both categories.

That's just my opinion though, I'll never claim that my opinion is undeniable fact. It's based on memory of my own development, and observations of loved ones development. In the end, I'd prefer to restrict both as long as possible if it were my child. There are plenty of games that are enjoyable even as an adult that require neither.

Terms say 16. And yeah, everyone here seems so old.

I like to shave mine.
