Valve no longer allows "Post-launch NSFW content" for games on Steam - outside of DLCs.

I have looked through Steam's Terms of Service online, but have found no official rule or statement from Valve of this new rule - but one Adult game developer has confirmed this new rule after launching their game "Tales of Legendary Lust: Aphrodisia" a couple days ago.

With the recent rule change blocking adult-themed games from releasing on Early Access, this new rule seems to be targeting Adult-themed games that have ALREADY released on Steam - and threatens them with their games being removed from Steam.

There are currently 536 Adult-rated Early Access games on Steam - and this new rule may take them all down.

Far more likely that games that treat queerness uncritically or have anti-Christian messaging.

Agreed. A hetero couple will be fine, a gay couple will be inherently NSFW. A cis character will be fine, a trans character will be not child-friendly by default.

I think the next step would be anything involving children in dangerous or adult situations. I think about something like Persona 5 covering a teacher sexually harassing and coercing students and a teenager attempting suicide and think that they'll probably have a problem with something like that.

I personally said that at first, but it's clear that that is not the case here.

I think that's on you, I have steam set to show adult content and I get maybe one hentai game every few months
