Hm Weird, the first Bundle isnt available here (Switzerland) for some reason, wonder why.

Also dat soundtrackVa11-Hall-a has some of the best writing I have ever seen in a game. Characters are just sublime, and thats coming from a straight white guy that never plays visual novels.
Mix drinks and change lives, people.
That game has underage nudity. Valve might be laissez-faire but that's too far for them. If they added that game websites would be accusing them of encouraging child porn. Not that people already don't that because of all the VNs on their store.
Odd thing to say when the biggest category in the LGBTQ+ sale is "Romantic visual novels", no? They clearly don't generally have a problem with LGBTQ+ VNs.Ironic that Valve is highlighting this sale when they have banned, and continue to ban, SFW LGBTQ+ VNs.
He's been claiming anti-LGBT bias on this thing from the start.They had an issue with the content of that game but have since approved the game. I see no problems here.
Buy Ladykiller in a Bind
And put Get In The Car, Loser in your wishlist!!!!!
the player character in Lucah (see a couple posts above yours) is canonically nonbinary! also I haven't played it yet so I don't know the full context but I think Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor operates very far outside of the traditional gender binary
No lie. Night in the Woods. Two main characters are gay and the story treats the relationship as naturally as possible. There is dialogue that explores their emotion in that and I, as a genderfluid type found it wonderfully compelling. Also main character stuff but I won't spoil.Any recommendations for a straight cis dude who wants to learn/understand a bit more about the LGBTQ community? Slice of life stuff sounds like the best bet, I guess.
Heaven Will Be Mine is thematically all about love and solidarity between queer women, with two of the main characters being trans women.Any suggestions for games with a trans focus or are trans-positive?

Many games on this sale are (porn) visual novelsValve have banned, and continue to ban, VNs, a very small subset of which are LGBTQ+ titles.
This involves both 18+ titles and the more nebulous category of "all ages" titles that The Expression Amrilato falls under (the bath scene certainly isn't "SFW"), but there is nothing to suggest that Valve is specifically targeting LGBTQ+ titles.
So no, it really isn't ironic.
Yes?
You said Valve is banning visual novels (both straight and LGBT+) but that's not true.

I am not saying that Valve is banning all visual novels.You said Valve is banning visual novels (both straight and LGBT+) but that's not true.

I was afraid of the first bit a lot more than the second bit.The plot is really good for a yaoi vn.
The MC is exclusively a seme (top) while the other guys are all ukes (bottom) and there are a lot of sex scenes.
If you are too sensitive I wouldn't recommend it to you because there are some
and the game becomesunavoidable rape scenesextremely dark.
Finally got Before the Storm. Shame that only the first episode of LiS 2, or I'd get that too.
Thanks for the notification! I gotta go look. Fingers crossed for Dream Daddy sale!

Just wanted to throw this one out there:
Cute little VN that shows a bit of the life of a trans woman in Japan. It's free to download and play, but if you enjoy it, you can buy the art collection DLC for $2 for the duration of the sale.
Gone Home is on sale which I suppose is a spoiler for Gone Home.
Any suggestions for games with a trans focus or are trans-positive?
Ah, so that's where your avatar is from! Cool artstyle.Heaven Will Be Mine is thematically all about love and solidarity between queer women, with two of the main characters being trans women.
Yep! The artist is pretty talented giving the character designs and overall art direction a distinct feel.
Buy Lucah yall....it's very cool to see it featured in this. It's one of the best games ever, and the queer angle to it isn't immediately apparent in its marketing or even until you're kinda far into it, but it's largely what the game is about and it does incredible things with it's narrative (and gameplay tbh).
Probably will grab Heaven Will be Mine finally, and that sale on 2064 is bonkers but I'd so much rather play it on switch lol...
