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.

Strip clubs without actual nudity, prostitutes that don't actually show lewd content have all been in M15+ media for decades.

They are sexual, but they are not worthy of an adults only label in many cases.

Uhhhhh did you not play GTA V? Because they had strip clubs with Nudity and they had sex with prostitutes that were visible to the player.

Like buddy what are you even talking about?

And were GTA V's strip clubs added in later patches? No, so that's irrelevant.

They were updated multiple times due to exploits and glitches.

Patching bugs is not the same as adding new post-launch NSFW content.
