Side note: I wish they'd just call them porn games, not "adult games". I expect adult games to be games for adults, as in, the games that are age-restricted to 18+.

Or are they going to start removing stuff that's PEGI 18 / ESRB M, like Baldur's Gate 3? No? Exactly.

That’s just the reality of ‘adult’ being the most common euphemism for porn in English, as in ‘adult films’. It’s not going anywhere.

I know, I just think it's annoying. I even turned on some option to see "adult games" in Steam for a little while because I thought it meant it would shut off the age verification for games like BG3. Instead it started showing me porn games (with no age verification), while still requiring an age check for actual adult games.

Americans.
