Is it true you are from australia or some other location that has laws against NSFW games?if so, would the law prohibiting NSFW games to be made no longer be an issue if you didn't have a patreon or something (kinda hard to say if the patreon would even count regarding the law since its for the dev of the game, its not like you need to pay to get the game even, and iirc there isn't exclusive patreon content either. not sure if that matters to that law though.) since it seems like the law is mainly for stuff that charges money? i'm not entirely sure though, does it target NSFW stuff that is free as well? or only paid stuff. (also a free NSFW patch wouldn't get around it either, right?) either way it might get around that first issue, but ofc it'd lead to an issue of no money. which would obviously be a problem. but idk if that is accurate to the situation though. so I am asking here as I am merely curious if that is true.

I am not from Australia but from Germany, which has one of the more extreme censorship rules then it comes to nsfw video games. It is very comparable to Australia when it comes to adult games with sexual stuff in it as far as I heard.

For example, all nsfw adult rated games on steam are banned and cannot be accessed in Germany. I am aware there exist a few games with actual sexual content like witcher 3 who are available uncensored here as well but that is the only game I am aware off right now.

There might be some work arounds like a patch or other means but those are often considered a grey area, somewhere between the law. And yes, I think earning money with it would also cause problems in germany too. But I could be wrong and some information outdated, I am not too informed, I just try to avoid nsfw to stay out of trouble.

I don't want to risk my luck and later end up with jail or need to pay fines, so I just keep everything sfw.

fair enough, was just curious is all. good to know that a patch could work potentially though. perhaps someday.. anyways, hopefully work is going well for you.
