Even as GTA 6 breaks the internet with its vistas of full frontal nudity, poledancers and endless, lustful twerking, another promising open world satire with "mild nudity" and some racey encounters has been rendered invisible to a whole swathe of Steam users thanks to Valve's squeamishness about "porn".

GTA 6's release has dominated the internet with its explicit content, while an open world satire titled Future? No Thanks! by Molleindustria has been locked out of reach for many Steam users. This is despite the creator, Paolo Pedercini, deleting the associated sex quest. The game, an ecosocialist comedy featuring a grumpy old man and his bucket list, has faced issues with Valve's content moderators over cartoonish nudity.
Despite a few weeks of delays and modifications, the game remains censored with a rating that prevents it from being opened without age verification. This has led to the game being geo-locked in Germany, violating German laws. The creator's frustration is palpable, as they plead for help from anyone who knows someone at Valve. The surreal situation has even caught the attention of the German president at Gamescom, where the game was being exhibited in a booth sponsored by the German government.
