In a recent FAQ spotted by Automaton, Housenka responded to a hypothetical of “I’ll promote you, give me a Steam key” with a delightfully blunt: “Buy it, you piece of garbage.” Or, as Automaton translates it from the original Japanese, “Buy the game, you piece of sh*t.” I can’t decide which I like better, honestly. The full FAQ is worth a read, if only for Housenka’s sense of humour and an insight into the absurd questions independent devs get asked these days.
“Make this character’s ass and thighs thicker,” another frequent-question-asker demands, to which Housenka responds: “Accept her as she is.” When asked by a phantom answer if the game will add sex, Housenka also proceeds to provide a link to DLsite, an online store that sells doujinshi—self-published manga comics that are often (though not always) pornographic in nature. “No sex. Please visit DLsite for that.”
This dev sounds awesome
“Make this character’s ass and thighs thicker,”
No love for thin bodies SMH

edit: there’s probably some irony or hypocrisy in me using this image (a guy with exaggerated muscles) as a positive on a comment about sexualization but I couldn’t think of a better image to use
but I couldn’t think of a better image to use
kind of sums up the problem our society is struggling with. Chad is perfect here. Why should you try to think of a better image to use?
We need to rationalize that humans like this sort of thing, and also that they shouldn’t demand it of others.
Is it laughable to demand game characters always be hot? Yes
Do people appreciate fan service characters? Also yes
Humans have been sexualizing everything forever, it’s in our nature. But we need to stop being so damn creepy about it.
to be fair, the free “review” keys often end up on websites like g2a and kinguin, so if I were to publish a game on Steam, I would’ve replied with the same thing to anyone asking me for 'em… the guy’s based af
Valve should enable a feature to make Steam keys self destruct for these scams. Let them generate a key that is valid for a few hours and if it didn’t get redeemed in that time frame, it no longer works. A key only valid until 5pm of issue date will let reviewers redeem it in time, but resellers will most likely have a dud by the time they try to sell it.
devs can assign keys to specific promotions, and mass recall unactivated keys and activated games from people’s accounts, so yeah this is possible even though needs to be done manually, but most devs don’t do it
Oh I would gladly do this manually - just have a spreadsheet pulled up of donated keys on half the screen and the revoke page in the other. Just going line by line, cross-checking, and yanking if I need to.
Would totally do it for my Friday night. Especially if I knew they’d know what happened and why.
Why? It would be a cinch to just use a database, write a small script and automate it.
For sure. I meant that I’d enjoy it enough that I’d be willing to do it by hand, with a smile on my face. ☺️
But yeah just a few lines of python and a txt file could do it.
It’s been a few years since Valve introduced curators system. Curators don’t receive keys but legit copies. Not all curators act in a good faith but it’s impossible for them to put such copies on sale on platforms you mentioned.

Genshin Impact and its consequences on the already stunted gamer race.
Genshin is literally Loli-land with a couple onee-sans, what are you on about?
There’s not a single thick playable character in Genshin.
