<\/strong>An indie game which embraces adult and erotic themes has been kicked-off of Steam Greenlight<\/a>, and the developers are not too-happy.<\/p>\n

Titled \u201cSeduce Me\u201d, the game is built as an erotic dating simulator, and contains a fair amount of nudity, adult language, sexual themes, and adult situations. Amsterdam-based indie developer No Reply Games wanted a boost through Valve’s new launching platform, but things didn’t go as planned.<\/p>\n

“We submitted the game on Thursday, when Steam Greenlight launched,” said No Reply Games’ Miriam Bellard. \u201c[Valve] took it down almost straight away,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Many people still view games as ‘for children’ in spite of the fact that the average gamer is 30 years old,” added Bellard.<\/p>\n

The game was pulled-down due to \u201cviolating Steam or Greenlight’s terms\u201d, as Valve spokesperson Doug Lombardi said \u201c”Steam has never been a leading destination for erotic material. Greenlight doesn’t aim to change that.”<\/p>\n

In response, No Reply Games co-founder Andrejs Skuja expressed his unhappiness with the omission of their game despite the industry’s fetish for violence.<\/p>\n

“The gaming establishment is fine with violence and gore but is uncomfortable with sexual themes”, said Skuja.<\/p>\n

Do you think games like Seduce Me should be allowed to appear on platforms such as Steam’s Greenlight?<\/p>\n
