No can do. Governments will ask them for age verification. Valve will instead swiftly remove anything with kinky dialogue and move on. True story by the way. Happened in Germany and no, it had nothing to do with protecting customers on Steam's side because the age verification process authorities asked for protects your identity. Valve simply didn't want to deal with it. To be fair it was a bullshit demand anyway but Sony didn't seem to have any problems implementing it so this is a Valve thing.
