一套強奸女性的遊戲再次挑戰steam的政策 - Steam

Steam game about raping women will test Valve’s hands-off approach

Midway through last year, Valve made headlines after announcing that it would
allow anything on its storefront that was not illegal or “straight up
trolling.” Such a vague edict might explain why, as of this writing, there’
s a visual novel that promises to let you play as a sociopath that can
violate women during a zombie apocalypse. It’s literally called Rape Day.

The game, which is not out yet, is marked as an “adult only” title — which
means that you can’t see it unless you’re logged in to Steam, and have
opted to see games of that nature in your feed. The game’s description,
which lists “evil choices” as a feature, says that it will let players “
verbally harass, kill, and rape women as you choose to progress the story.”
Rape Day boasts that it has over 7,000 words, though judging from writing on
the screenshots, it appears to be an amateur creation. Players will be able
to read through chunks of the story, and occasionally click on outcomes to
the scenarios, which are illustrated with 3D renders of characters.

Valve did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but on the game’
s website, the developer seems aware that its creation is controversial.

“You can’t reasonable [sic] consider banning rape in fiction without
banning murder and torture,” the developer says.

“Most people can separate fiction from reality pretty well, and those that
can’t shouldn’t be playing video games,” the developer continues.

Technically, Rape Day does not appear to violate Steam’s current content
rules, but the developer appears unsure if the game will make it to the final
release without getting banned off the platform. Already, the game has been
modified to avoid potential content issues — in one news update, the creator
says they got rid of a “baby killing scene” in case it gets marked as child
exploitation. Rape Day’s website also lists out a couple of plans of action
for what may happen to the game, and the developer, should anything get taken
down.

“I have not broken any rules, so I don’t see how my game could get banned
unless Steam changes their policies,” the developer wrote. “My game was
properly marked as adult and with a thorough description of all of the
potentially offensive content before the coming soon page went live on Steam.
”

In the last year, Steam has been criticized for its hands-off approach to
game curation. While it was seen as a boon that the platform allows for games
with sexual content, the fact you have to log in, opt in, and look for the
games in question means that games with LGBT themes are treated the same as
games like Rape Day by the platform.

(你必須有steam帳號而且年滿十八歲才能看到內容)

Steam之前說過不會對遊戲內容過度干涉，除非違反了幾個原則...

沒有正確標示成人內容

誹謗性的言論

違反版權

侵犯法律

任何利用兒童的內容

含有修改用戶電腦的內容 (就木馬或病毒)

試圖收集用戶敏感資訊

所以......

這套遊戲沒違反以上規定。

他就只是一套在殭屍末日扮演強奸犯到處亂幹和亂殺女人的遊戲而已。

所以Steam又處於風尖浪口了。
