Wut

Developer makes a game that depicts children engaging in sex fetish acts with adults, gets banned from Steam, ages up the in-game children to young adult age instead, plays dumb and tries to act like they've been victimized by Valve

It's definitely exposing a lot of creeps on Lemmy.

If you need to clarify that your characters are of legal age....

It's pretty clear this was their marketing strategy from the start. Just play the "we're a victim of evil valve" card and suck up some sympathy pre-order buys.

Reminder that there was about 5 devs + some outside contractors that made amnesia the dark decent. An excellent horror game. Made by a very small dev team.

These guys just suck. And then they want to cry about how it's not their fault they suck.

If your "all characters are 18+" is literally anything more than a boilerplate legal disclaimer... Then you might want to reconsider the fuck your doing.

Cause yes you need a disclaimer, but you shouldn't need a disclaimer ...

Yeah, the people who keep saying the scene wasn't sexual because nudity isn't inherently sexual (true) completely ignore the sexual context when a naked human is ridden while being led around.

The devs are stressing how clear it is that all the characters are adults because they were not all adults in the early builds.
