In what was a sudden shock to many game developers, PC game platform, Steam, has asked several game developers to change their games to meet the distributors guidelines for the removal of pornographic content on Steam, stating that the games that don’t change will be removed.

We've just received some troubling news today that @steam_games has decided to pull down our titled "Mutiny!!" within 2 weeks for 'reports of pornographic content'. Now those of you who know @Lupiesoft know that we don't put that on Steam, or advertise that content on Steam.

Warnings went to game developers who have had their releases on the platform for years, with some taking to twitter to respond.

– IMPORTANT NOTICE –
I've received an e-mail from Valve stating that HuniePop violates the rules & guidelines for pornographic content on Steam and will be removed from the store unless the game is updated to remove said content.

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. We are working on this issue.https://t.co/Cs3VxVARQy　#steam

While many are confused with the sudden notification, and some devs arguing that their content doesn’t violate the established guidelines, this striking change is hitting the visual novel community on Steam the hardest. Many have taken to attempting to contact Valve in order to fix what they see to be a false problem.
