Brave dev vows to keep making games for freaks like me even as daddy Steam decides to crack down on NSFW content: "I'll just create the things I find interesting"

A press image shows the Song of Saya protagonist smiling against a red wall of gore.

If you expect me to apologize for having inappropriate thoughts about Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre and his dirty bat claws, or for quoting the part in Andrzej Żuławski's Possession where Isabelle Adjani says about the quivering mass of pus and tentacles in her bed, "He made love to me all night," you're even sicker than I am. Go play Construction Simulator 2015 and lie to yourself about how phallic a concrete pump is while visual novel writer Vio Shimokura and I confront the truth: …nevermind, you couldn't handle it.

OK, fine: desire is a weird chimera. It's both a little goblin in your kitchen and a dreamy bachelor on the boardwalk. And I'm glad that Shimokura tells Japanese news site 4Gamer – according to an Automaton translation – that he'll keep it that way even as online stores like Steam become more strict about NSFW content.
