I know it’s downvote central, but I’ve been on the “No Porn on Steam” train forever. Ever since the introduction to the service it has inundated so much of the “Top Selling” “New & Trending” etc. Steam is for games, porn is for porn. Super annoying to sift through it when I’m looking for a new game, and I have my age settings so I can see adult games like GTA/Dishonored, not “Super Hentai Bejeweled 3000”.
Do I want games that are specifically pornography on steam. No.
Well, some people do want that.
So, in compromise, Steam gives you the option of not seeing pornography. It even sets that option by default.
The only way you’re ever going to see pornography is if you specifically check the ‘Show Adult Only Sexual Content’ in the Mature Content Filtering of Store Preferences in your Account Settings.
Ehat you said reminded me of Fate Stay Night, never played it, but the story was so good they made anime and manga for it, without the sex scenes of course.
… and I have my age settings so I can see adult games like GTA/Dishonored, not “Super Hentai Bejeweled 3000”.
The former belong to the M rated category while the hypothetical latter would belong to the Adults Only category. As others have pointed out, you can hide adult games and still see other games with violence and mature themes. Steam classifies M-rated games and AO-rated games differently.

Is it more about the porn or the shovelware for you? That is to ask: would you play a porn game that is sufficiently story-driven and acclaimed?
Would I play a game that has sex/nudity in it? Yes. Do I want games that are specifically pornography on steam. No.
Well, some people do want that.

Excuse me sir, but Super Hentai Bejeweled 3000 is one of the best games of our times.
/S
Just turn the adult stuff off yo.
Certainly there should be better search tools and personal curation on Steam. If you don’t want to see it you should be able to easily filter it.
steam is for games… no, it isn’t really. steam has been distributing non game software for ages.
porn games are games so even if steam is for games it should have porn games.
i don’t care for porn games but I’ve filtered them out so who cares what others do with their time

“I’ll know it when I see it” has gotta be the most vibes way to tell people they’re degenerates.
It’s also the US legal standard for obscenity laws, unfortunately.
