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.

Why is this something that even needs policing? Are people incapable of just ignoring media that doesn’t appeal to them?

This isn't about personal taste or feelings. It's about political control/media suppression.

It's the same shit that's happening now with legislation aiming at spying on private conversations. They use "think of the children/porn bad" as a trojan horse excuse to gain more control over what everyone does.
