Every developer big and small, no matter how much they followed Steam's guidelines to the letter is having games pulled," it said, following it up with alleging preferential treatment given to Western developed-titles. "It seems this new change violates what Valve agreed to before, and the entirety of the Visual Novel genre on Steam is feeling the effects of this nuclear option. According to Lupiesoft, Valve had no problems with the game's content, going far as to confirm so in person. Now those of you who know know that we don't put that on Steam, or advertise that content on Steam," the developer said in a tweet. "We've just received some troubling news today that has decided to pull down our titled "Mutiny!!" within 2 weeks for 'reports of pornographic content'. I Have Over 300 Games on Steam and I'm Leaving It All Behind for GOG Galaxy Case in point Mutiny!! from developer Lupiesoft. Apparently the revised content policy is at odds with what was previously agreed to, resulting in some games taken down without prior notice. "I've received an e-mail from Valve stating that HuniePop violates the rules and guidelines for pornographic content on Steam and will be removed from the store unless the game is updated to remove said content," claimed the creator of HuniePop.įurthermore, these unannounced changes to Valve's content policy seem to have impacted entire genres with makers of visual novels up in arms, stating that the entire genre is at risk. We are working on this issue," tweeted the account for game's developer. "We have been informed that adult content in Tropical Liquor must be censored by the end of this month or the game will be removed from Steam. The company hasn't made any changes to its terms and conditions just yet and this comes as surprise to many particularly after they've been on Steam for so long with no issues. Multiple game developers have taken to Twitter to voice their outrage. Valve has contacted several developers asking them to censor their games on Steam or face delisting.
