    @Steam How is it decided that a game needs an age verification to view it? I did my discovery queue and was age gated for a bunch of AAA games, then had a porn-adjacent game that didn't require an age verification. It was hilarious to me, but that seems broken.

    @Steam If you are going to purchase it, there IS a mod set which forces the game off of EA's servers and onto Fan run and made servers According to Youtube stuff I saw, the mod DOES work and HASN'T been removed, I have not used it myself however! The fan run servers fix everything
