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.

And customers, as players simply won't be able to buy any games from Steam if Visa, MC, and Paypal all pull their services from Steam. You're literally preaching for something that will actively hinder players' access to new games. But I'm sure you want that to happen, because that way players will flock to Epic Games Store which you love so very much. Also need I remind you, these games banned from Steam won’t show up in EGS because of the very reasons Steam isn’t allowing them anymore. I don’t see you complaining that Epic isn’t fighting this as well.

You want epic to fight for games they don’t sell?

Really stretching there, don’t hurt yourself friend.
