FMV horror game Vile: Exhumed was not banned from sale on Steam because of its hardcore depiction of violence against women, psychologically roiling story, or body bags, but because the storefront decided Vile contained sexual content that it does not have.
The game, by developer Cara Cadaver, is not alone in finding itself recently shunned from Steam. Valve's marketplace has recently been – to substantial controversy – delisting games it deems "adult," but Vile stands out among the damned: Cadaver makes it clear in a statement on Vile is Banned, a new website dedicated to hosting Vile as a free download, that the game contains "no uncensored nudity, no depictions of sex acts, and no pornography whatsoever."
