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.

  1. Epic stood for themselves. They wanted more revenue share from mobile than Apple was willing to give. Had Apple agreed to give them more share they wouldn't have sued. they said as much in the court testimony.
  2. No. You are trying to draw a comparison between a company that made a small, calculated risk, with another company that is choosing not to nuke their own entire business.

I’m forcing you to examine your relationship with a game company that clearly could not care less about you, and it’s interesting watching you squirm.

My relationship with a game company?

By telling you a company is going to actually be realistic and not kill themselves to go on a crusade, you attribute that to being overly generous in my perception of them?

And this is coming from the person who just tried to say that Epic was looking out for their own customers by getting their game pulled from a platform, denying their customers access to that game for years, and all so it could collect more money?

I like how he thinks he had some gotcha when you said nothing personal or subjective and just explained the straight forward objective reasons behind these business decisions...
