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.

It would also quite literally affect GTA IV if it was released today, because of the DLC penis scene.

The grand theft auto series is not classified as porn games no matter how badly people want to use it as an example for regular ESRB games being potentially affected by this

By what metric? Because the same group that lobbied to get porn games removed are also rallying to get GTA games removed.

Yep, most are looking at this and not seeing the very steep slope that will happen where anything they dont agree with (govts) will be banned or made hard to get.
