What steps, if any, do you guys take on the linux distribution of your choice to play visual novels?
I, personally, set the following in my .bashrc
alias vn='env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine start '
so I can just type vn gameExecutable.exe and usually just have the game work.
For the games I’ve had for a while, I have .desktop entries in my $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications directory with more specific commands as needed.
If you guys have any other tricks up your sleeves, please feel free to share them here.
On the one hand, it wouldn’t surprise me if that were the case, but Valve is usually known for their lack of action or direct opinions. Either way, it seems unlikely this will change any time soon.
People Make Games covers how Valve feels about pornographic content and other sorts of questionable content in this section of their video and why they are so staunchly against being specific about the content they don’t want on their platform: https://youtube.com/watch?v=s9aCwCKgkLo&t=35m41s
