The developer has suggested that in future it will look to provide censored versions of its games in order to comply with the relevant laws.Ĭurrently, Dharker Studios appears to be the only adult game developer which has been required to take action to restrict the sale of its own products, an issue it has raised with Valve. “Several countries banned the game which prompted us to realise that we need to be more careful with where we sell in case we breach laws in other countries.” “The fact is, these restrictions are the downside of being the poster child for the first fully uncensored adult game on Steam,” said the Dharker Studios in a community update on Steam.

In May this year, Valve advised developers to censor the content of such games appearing on Steam, or have them removed. We have noticed some speculation or concern on our various community hubs that Dharker Studios is closing down. Negligee: Love Stories, from developer Dharker Studios, has been at the centre of debate surrounding sexually explicit games on the platform in recent weeks. All in all, everyone is a winner in this hustle.īelow the line is the unedited article from You can expect sales of the game to surge. Several gaming sites are reporting on this event in hopes of grabbing readership for their sites and ad revenue with the traffic. ![]() The developer is still taking pride in having released the first uncensored adult game on Steam and getting all this free publicity for the controversy that ensued. ![]() Japan has laws against uncensored genitalia being visible. Russia has laws against homosexual content, which the game includes in part. This game is not breaking any new ground, it’s a damned visual novel coded in Renpy. Based on this we (Dharker Studios) created a list of countries that had laws that prohibited distribution, sale or viewing of content included in the game. ![]()
