Explain to me, why it makes sense to age gate games, when the account opening the store page has a '22 Years of Service' badge. I'm logged in for christ sakes...

Q: Why do you KEEP asking my damn age throughout the store?

A: We're with you on this. Unfortunately, many rating agencies have rules that stipulate that we cannot save your age for longer than a single browsing session. It's frustrating, but know we're filling out those age gates too.

To you it is redundant, to Valve it is a safeguard.

Sue-happy parent: Why do you allow this game page to be viewable without a warning?
Valve: We don't, billy there stated he was 18+ from what he selected.

Irrelevant as you may not be the one using the account at the time.

For example: Billy aged 11 uses his father's computer while his father has gone to the local shop and clicks on the age gate to view adult only sexual content. Valve nor any other company can be sued due to the very fact that the age gate states "i am over 18" and was clicked.

Because links are clicked by an individual, not an account.
