Robert Yang’s Radiator Forever bundle just hit Steam and Itch as a free ongoing collection of his experimental gay games, branded “Gay as a Service” with planned updates adding more titles like The Tearoom later this year. Steam’s reviewers slapped it with the “frequent nudity and sexual content” tag anyway, burying it behind a preference toggle that hides it from roughly 99 percent of users by default.
Yang, who avoided explicit nudity during development, called the flag a “shadowban” driven by the bundle’s general “nature” being “just too gay,” adding that compliance-in-advance never satisfies a zealous censor. He contrasted it with Valve greenlighting customizable genitals in Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldur’s Gate 3 right out of the gate, noting his politically charged short games about consent, sodomy laws, and body image get no such latitude.
Broader payment-processor pressure from last year’s Collective Shout campaign has already forced Itch to bury or geoblock NSFW titles, and Yang warns incoming anti-anonymity laws will only raise costs for platforms serving queer or adult creators. The collection launched July 9 with four remastered entries and lives at direct links on his site because search won’t surface it for most accounts.
