Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: ‘It’s very bad news for us’

Nighthawks, a vampire RPG from Wadjet Eye Games, has been classified as 'Adults Only' by Steam, resulting in its removal from search results and delisting in regions like Germany. Wadjet Eye's CEO, Dave Gilbert, criticized Steam's decision, arguing that the game’s content is not pornographic. The Adults Only label negatively impacts their launch strategy, especially in key markets, and the team is uncertain about the reasons for the classification. Valve's policies on adult content complicate the situation, as developers must navigate ambiguous guidelines. Richard Cobbett, the game's creator, expressed hope that Valve will reverse the decision before the planned launch on September 22.

In other nudes: Google’s new Android shield blocks your NSFW photos

Android's Photo Picker is set to receive an enhancement called the Sensitive Content Warning (SCW), which is currently operational in Google Messages. The SCW automatically blurs images or videos that may contain nudity and is designed to protect users from sharing explicit content. Google is working to integrate this tool into the broader Photo Picker ecosystem, potentially extending its protective capabilities to various applications. The SCW functions as an on-device scanner that identifies explicit content, providing warnings before sending and automatically blurring incoming media. The feature is automatically activated for Supervised users, such as young children, while parents can disable it for teenagers aged 13 to 17. Although the SCW aims to enhance monitoring of shared content, media can still be transmitted as files, which may bypass these protections.

More Android apps could soon save you from sending accidental nudes

Google is enhancing Android's Photo Picker by integrating its on-device Sensitive Content Warning system, which aims to prevent users from unintentionally sharing explicit content like nudity through third-party applications. This system has already been implemented in Google Messages, where it detects and blurs explicit images and videos while keeping user data private. Recent code discoveries in the Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4 indicate that this feature will be integrated into the Photo Picker, allowing apps to check for nudity in selected media before sharing. This integration could help protect users, especially minors, from sharing inappropriate content and may include age-based restrictions for applications using the Photo Picker. However, users can still bypass these safeguards by sending images directly as files.

Dark Sun, D&D’s most heavy metal setting, will be back in 2027

In the 1990s, the Dungeons & Dragons setting known as Dark Sun emerged, depicting a world ravaged by exploitative sorcerer-kings and featuring warriors with psychic abilities. Dark Sun briefly returned during D&D's 4th edition, and there has been growing demand for its revival in the 5th edition. At Gen Con's D&D keynote, Wizards of the Coast announced the return of Dark Sun, along with a new rulebook titled Blood and Power, a setting guide called Edge of Oblivion, and a special edition of the Player's Handbook. All three publications are set for release next year. Due to mature content, these books will be shrink-wrapped and rated 18+ for profanity, bloodshed, nudity, and sexuality.

“Compliance-in-advance is never enough to appease a zealous censor”: Robert Yang on the current challenge of bringing experimental gay games to Steam

Radiator Forever, a collection of short and experimental gay games by developer Robert Yang, has launched on Steam alongside its presence on Itch.io. Yang discussed the challenges faced by adult game creators, particularly due to payment processor issues and online regulations in the UK, which affect the viability of such games on major platforms. Users must log in to view the collection on Steam, and UK users need a valid credit card for age verification. The Steam listing is difficult to find without a direct link and is subject to geoblocking in certain regions. Yang explained that the anti-sexuality censorship campaign led by Collective Shout and payment processors prompted Itch to obscure many NSFW games. He noted that Valve has classified Radiator Forever as containing "frequent nudity and sexual content," which limits its visibility on Steam. Despite efforts to comply with content guidelines, Yang faced challenges due to perceived biases against indie developers compared to major publishers. The re-remastered collection includes enhancements like a completion percentage tracker and a tagging system for new content.

Meta executive called Facebook Messenger encryption plan irresponsible court filing shows

Meta is implementing end-to-end encryption across its messaging services for Facebook and Instagram despite internal warnings about potential risks to child safety. Internal documents reveal that executives, including Monika Bickert, expressed concerns that the encryption would hinder the company's ability to report child exploitation incidents to law enforcement. A lawsuit filed by New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez accuses Meta of enabling predators to access underage users, leading to potential abuse and human trafficking. The New Mexico case is notable as it is the first against Meta to reach a jury amid heightened scrutiny regarding the safety of young users. Over 40 attorneys general are also pursuing claims that Meta's products contribute to youth mental health issues, and various school districts have filed lawsuits. Internal communications indicated that senior safety executives were worried about the implications of encryption, predicting a significant drop in reporting child exploitation cases. A briefing document from February 2019 estimated that child exploitation reporting would decrease by 65% if Messenger were encrypted. In response to these concerns, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone stated that the apprehensions from 2019 led to the development of additional safety features prior to the launch of encrypted messaging in 2023, including special accounts for underage users to protect them from adult contacts they do not know.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just ‘gatekeepers’ attempting to ‘censor all of their political opponents’

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has criticized a US initiative to ban the social media platform X and its generative AI tool, Grok, following reports of Grok generating inappropriate images, including those of minors. Sweeney emphasized the importance of open platforms and opposed political demands for censorship, labeling it as crony capitalism. Reports indicated that Grok produced troubling content, including altered images of influencers in compromising situations. In response to the controversy, X has placed Grok's image generation feature behind a paywall. Sweeney's stance on free speech contrasts with censorship practices on his own platforms, such as the Epic Games Store's ban on the art game Horses due to pressure from conservative groups. He acknowledged the dangers of AI, noting that major AIs have instances of misuse.

Getting banned by Steam and Epic has made HORSES a best-seller — but this censorship bodes ill for creativity

Indie developer Santa Ragione's horror game HORSES has been banned from Steam without a clear explanation, leading to frustration from the developers and a lack of communication regarding the ban. Despite this setback, interest in the game has increased, resulting in strong sales on alternative platforms like GOG and itch.io, where it is currently a best-seller. The ban has made it difficult for Santa Ragione to secure external publishing deals, forcing them to seek private funding. Steam cited concerns over depictions of sexual conduct involving minors, while Epic referenced explicit sexual behavior and animal abuse, claims that Santa Ragione disputes. The game is available for purchase on GOG for .99 and on itch.io. GOG has expressed support for the game, emphasizing player choice in gaming experiences.
