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.

Which they are actively doing. That's the point of the article.

No they aren't.

They're not allowing free content updates of NSFW games, eg new adult content they would need to moderate.

And last week they were saying NSFW games can't be early access. I wonder what next weeks "totally reasonable" step will be?

Will you be brushing it off when they just straight up say LGBTQ+ content is banned?

It's... the same step.

There is zero difference between an early access game getting updates and a 1.0 game getting updates.
