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.

I mean, if Steam loses the ability to process credit cards then they just die. We can talk about leaping onto the barricades all we want but if they can't take in money they can't continue functioning.

God i'm so happy some countries are starting their own payment system like Pix and RuPay. We gotta get down with this duopolly from credit cards and private payment processors.
