Over the last few days, Steam — the leading PC gaming storefront managed by game developer and publisher Valve — has been delisting numerous pornographic titles from its online store. At the same time, the company made a significant policy change to its game publishing guidelines. Valve hasn't given an official reason for the removal of these games, though it's highly likely it's because of the new rule.
This news comes from the Steam database tracking website SteamDB, which detected and subsequently posted about dozens of sexually explicit games being taken down from the Steam Store in the last 48-72 hours. Scroll down enough on SteamDB's app events history page, and you'll find yourself in a sea of red, slashed-out listings.
