On the other hand, this law doesn't require "age verification" beyond requiring users to supply their date of birth, and the Steam application already does this before displaying content only deemed appropriate for those over a certain age.

So the only thing that really changes in the Steam case is the timing of the question, and possibly how and where the (unverified) answer is recorded.
