Wow, what a weekend. Hello everyone coming in from the Animatronic article. Here’s Monday’s news
- Steam is Delaying Adult Games
- Germany Bans Vague Release Dates
- Nintendo Labo Contest Winners
Lewd Games on Hold
Back in May, we talked about how Steam was causing a stink by essentially putting long-established lewd games on probation. It seems they’ve been working on a solution, and putting new games on hold until they have it running.
Love in Space, the developers behind Shining Song Starnova, recently tweeted out that their game is being put on hold until Steam can implement needed content moderation tools that they believe the game needed. Steam may be getting a mature game section, requiring age verification (they do that anyway) to look at. Time will tell.
Germany Against Release Dates
The Higher Regional Court of Munich has banned retailers from selling pre-orders for products that don’t have a confirmed release date, according to German news site Heise. The ruling was done with Media Markt, a German electronics franchise, in mind. This prevents the company from offering pre-orders for smartphones without release dates. The ruling covers other electronic goods as well, including video games. Ya know, I wouldn’t mind this state-side.
Nintendo Labo Champions
For those who didn’t know, Nintendo hosted their own Nintendo Labo Creation Contest. Participants were asked to create their best and most unique ideas for the Labo, and now the winners were announced. It ranges from solar-powered accordions, clocks, to a tea management game. It’s all very impressive. You can check out the winning entries on Nintendo’s site.
That’s all for today, thanks for reading. I’ve recently updated my Support page, for those interested in keeping the dream alive. Tune in tomorrow for another video game news post. Or check out The Animatronic. My first update post for it has done extremely well so far. I’m thinking about making the change to a post being about one topic at a time instead of this three-in-one deal. This would likely lead to only one or two news posts a day, though. But it’d be more in-depth. Let me know what you think. Otherwise, have a great day!
