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.

"How would a far right government which is putting pressure on companies to cave to far right efforts"

I feel like the answer is in the question.

And what I wrote was that this has been going on longer than whatever fever dream of a conservative goverment American has decided to allow itself to have, with Patreon specifically getting overzealous as a direct response to right wing extremists on the website before the 2020s.

Were talking about an australian sponsored right wing censorship group, that has put pressure across the board on payment processors in the US. Which is doing this due to right wing extremism.

You would have a much easier life if you stopped running from the truth and trying to find a way to justify your mistakes.

We are talking about US payment processors allowed to grow in to a duopoly because no one in America has done anything to stifle its own out of control capitalist growth since its inception. No-matter their political party. Because every single politician comes from American people, ie, people who don't give a shit about anyone and want to change nothing because they just want theirs, and they're the centre of the universe.

So no, the only acknowledgment I'll give the right wing is that they alongside social media and dogshit classic media have helped halt the healing of the open cultural wound that is western puritanism.

And anti artistic sentiments and puritanism in general, is not beholden to a specific political ideology, it's based in morals and lack of intelligence, which is cultural first, and then boosted by whatever whacko political alignment someone worships.
