Steam Cracks Down on Adult Games: Payment Processors' New Rules Spark Controversy

Steam recently updated its platform rules, banning games that violate the regulations of payment processors and banks, leading to the removal of numerous games with sexual themes, particularly those with "incest" in their titles. This move stems from payment companies' long-standing opposition to adult content, fearing a lack of sufficient safeguards against illegal content on the platform. While many players support the removal of explicit games, concerns have been raised that this sets a precedent for financial censorship, potentially affecting more games in the future, including those with LGBTQ+ themes.
