As long as there is DRM-Free 90% or more of new AAA games are a no go.
AAA Publishers see DRM as the holy grail, besides that.....only sales matter, a few Eroges won't change that.
(I assume DRM is mostly for Stockholders so they see their "assets" are "protected".)
That is exactly why older AAA games tend to show up here more often, at that point DRM isn't that much of an issue to them.

That being said, most AAA games these days are broken and bland, so eh ?

On that page :)
He is not wrong though, Steam is just a lot bigger, most none AAA games or very popular Indies just get drowned in the flood.

That's a sale page from two years ago where the 6 "NEW" games were released in Feb 2020, and at least half of them aren't porn. What connection does it have to their homepage?

No offense but no one force you to install an adult patch to enjoy a visual novel .

I dunno, I don't see any of the Kagura Games on the current GoG sale and I'm pretty sure steam mentioned the release of new Kagura games too, just Steam is bigger so it won't last on the new page more than a day.

There has probably been Japanese publisher sales too, I really don't see your point, except I agree, Steam is way bigger.

I get this link from Steam's homepage right now: https://store.steampowered.com/category/visual_novel?snr=1_4_lunarsale__genresquarevisualnovel
For example, "Nekopara" is among the featured titles.

Your wishful thinking is very unconvincing.

edorien: With all this filth flooding the store, good luck persuading mainstream publishers and developers to place future gams on here.
DRM free was already a tough sell.
DRM-free on a porn site won't happen.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they start pulling their entire catalogue to avoid association
The reason I'm calling you that is because you do not do your research. You see, the majority of adult stores are in fact, DRM-Free. That's Jast, MangaGamer, Denpasoft, Fakku and even DLSite with some minor exceptions. Most of the adult world, especially in Japan does not believe in the practice of DRM.

The image on Steam's homepage that leads to that page doesn't look like porn at all.

The point here is plausible deniability, and its counterpart of assuming good faith. With that in mind, look again at the Steam's visual novels page, assume someone doesn't know the contents of the games, and see which ones look dodgy. If Nekopara looks like porn to you then you're using knowledge about the series, because the title cards of those games look like kids' cartoons.

I'd say War And Roses looks questionable, Some Some Convenience Store looks dodgy yet tasteful, and I'd almost posted this message before the images at the top scrolled round to Tricolor Lovestory. Based on that, I could easily believe that someone working for a publisher could check what's on Steam and see nothing dodgy.

The Demon Lord's link on GOG's homepage is also quite tame, but remember the images that GOG used for the Venus Bloods.

Does GOG even have something in place to prevent the porn games from being seen by minors? I know on Steam you specifically have to go into settings and enable adult games to see them.

18+ Warning afaik.
It's not good enough for german "youth protection" laws hence why you need a VPN to see the ones that have Adult content.
That being said, the Kagura games have unrated patches, so the game in itself without the patch is free for minors and thus can also be seen by Germans.
Same for Steam, Laws are weird like that.

Hoping to see:

-Evenicle 2
-Erogejapan catalog (especially Isekai Succubus)
-WASABI entertainment catalog (at least the best ones)

Most of these are censored in the other store

I would add:

-Critical Bliss catalog, because they have a really great selection of games like all the Libra Heart titles.

-Reconsider adding Abaddon: Princess of the Decay

-Add patches to previously released censored games

So now you no longer care about the presence or absence of such games in the catalog (as you said in the beginning). And you don't care about the link to its sale on the main page (as you said next). And now you care about pictures of these games.
Your "No true Scotsman" stance shift makes you look more and more hypocritical with each step.
