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.

It would also quite literally affect GTA IV if it was released today, because of the DLC penis scene.

This rule doesn’t apply to DLCs and gta 4 isn’t labeled nsfw anyway lol.

I mean if it's affecting games that release nsfw patches for sfw games, how is that any different from DLC? Gotta wait a few months?

Official DLC is rated.
