Valve confirms credit card companies pressured it to delist certain adult games from Steam

Valve has confirmed the removal of several adult-themed games from its Steam storefront due to concerns from payment processors about potential violations of their rules and standards. This decision aligns with new regulations in Steam's documentation that prohibit content likely to upset payment processors. While some adult-themed games remain available, recent removals indicate Valve's cautious approach. The game Trials of Innocence was also delisted but its developers clarified that this was due to a DMCA claim, not the new regulations. Payment processors have historically been cautious about adult content due to associations with scams and chargebacks, influenced by past controversies. This situation highlights the ongoing tension between content creators, platforms, and payment processors in digital commerce.

Pierre Hintze, head of Halo Studios, noted changing gamer expectations for content availability, while art director Chris Matthews highlighted the limitations of the Slipspace Engine and the advantages of Unreal Engine's technologies, such as Nanite and Lumen, for enhancing rendering and lighting.
