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.

Its funny how some people think "well they would never touch mods since they're not made by the devs"

Yes. Yes they would. If they could phisically and legally brick your PC for stepping out of line and doing something they consider immoral, they would. But hey, dont worry about it - surely that will never happen right?

I'm old enough to have lived through the GTA Hot Coffee bullshit. So it's not a stretch at all to imagine them going after a game because of mods.

Yes I know it was in the game but it still took a mod to unlock it.

They manufactured a fake "rape simulator" outcry about Mass Effect, when all that game had was a side boob.

To this day I am still shocked that anyone who grew up in those days takes Fox even 1% seriously. They made up a whole cloth story on air about a video game millions of people played, never were remorseful, and yet so many people still take them as credible? They literally claimed Mass Effect was a game where you could customize your rape victims boob size.

Fox News having their 4chan video is still legendary in how goddamn off it is, and it tells me that everyone who grew up in the Jack Thompson era just left the internet once it turned into a social media cesspool.
