   @Soma @ChristiJunior @Vidmastereon Also in the before times; if the game industry and cartel of retail stores didn't like your game, nobody would carry it.
   
   Postal 2 (which had meh reviews from critics and was always in every single "most offensive game" list next to crummy games made by rednecks and games hyped up solely on being ultraviolent) was such an example, PC copies (especially USA labeled copies) are rare because nobody would stock said game. While GTA was okay, outsiders doing the same thing GTA did found it hard to to get shelf space, especially as their first game was controversial in a different way.
   
   Nowadays everyone and their mom has played Postal 2 because it's on Steam and Postal Redux is on a game console.
   
   The same goes with NSFW games/visual novels; thanks to Steam and piracy and people in this side of the internet talking about them those games have been noticed when literally 10+ years ago is when the Rapelay scandal happened because of westoid journalists looking for games to shit on. In fact you can even find SomethingAwful writers writing posts about how bad "anime porn" games were.
