Steam store to sell VR porn video games in 'jaw-dropping' decision

The Steam gaming platform will allow video games containing virtual reality porn and other controversial content, in an abrupt reversal of policy. Valve, which owns the popular online video game store, came under fire recently after a video game billed as a "school shooting simulation" appeared on the platform. Parents of school shooting victims objected to the Active Shooter game and an online petition received more than 200,000 signatures to have it removed. Valve eventually pulled the game but says it now wants to avoid engaging in debates of how it should police its platform. "The harsh reality of this space, that lies at the root of our dilemma, is that there is absolutely no way we can navigate it without making some of our players really mad," Valve's Erik Johnson said in a post to the Steam Store on Wednesday, 6 June.
