[QUOTE="Taleweaver, post: 7985418, member: 237261"] So if I understand this correctly, I can do the following: 1) create a "nude Freeman" patch for half life and half life 2 2) host it somewhere online 3) use this existing patch as proof that these games are pornographic 4) demand that valve sends notifications to themselves to patch their games (ignoring the fact that they need to be patched to enable it in the first place) 5) if 4 isn't met (which is, in this case, impossible), have these games removed from steam Yeah....that makes sense...:glare: I'm pretty liberal on this: if it's an 18+ game, I see no problem with nudity. Steam was pretty prudish before, but that's mostly because they have to oblige American law (meaning: ultra-violence=okay; nudity=NOOOOOOOO!!!!). This is just going a ridiculous step too far. Either the step is mere bureaucracy to meet the most prudishness of prudishes (if those are words)*, or they're facing some stupid legal battles they don't wanna face. EDIT: I meant prudish instead of prudent. Sorry about that :shy: (and thanx [USER=32303]@FAST6191[/USER] for correcting me) *in that case, the conversation will go a bit like this: Valve: "hey, guys...we've gotten a complaint about your games. You need to patch it." Devs: "erm...we've already patched it before we submitted it to steam, remember?" Valve: "just checking. Thanks for the response. It's probably from someone attempting to blame us for downloading nudity patches elsewhere themselves, so...it'll probably blow over. But we obviously have to make sure we're okay." [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
