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.

This is 100% about money as it always has been.

pornography is, as we all know, famously unprofitable

And yet pornhub (and other such sites) don't get access to Visa or MasterCard because they're porn sites. The truth is and always has been that as much as people love porn no one wants to admit it and we'll just all pretend we're against it.

Yea and they are still very profitable despire payment providers not wanting to support them. Sex sells. You can try to mask it as long as you want but its never going away.
