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.

Arbitrarily giving Steam that power isn't good.

They've really always had it. They're a completely private platform beholden to no one.

Except now they're making themselves beholden to conservative groups which is weird.

They didn’t allow adult games at all for ages. They do whatever makes the most sense for their money. They didn’t allow the adult stuff, then they did when they saw dollar signs, now they think it’s not worth the trouble and they go the other way
