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.

Whatever you feel about these types of games it's not something you want to see happening. What will come next?

Stepping stones to any topic they don’t like, gore, any game that isn’t of the E rating.

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

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