Two of the affected developers, HuniePot and Lupiesoft have spoken about their issue on Twitter, stating that their games 'follow Steam's guidelines.we were told ecchi content was fine on Steam.'. With such a claim being made years after the fact, it brings into question what content Valve considers too 'racy' to allow on their digital storefront, and what games will be further removed. There are uncensor patches hosted offsite, but unless Steam has quietly changed its TOS, then these games met needed requirements already. HuniePop itself, is a game that has been unchanged and sold on Steam since 2015, selling over 500,000 copies, yet it has not faced removal concerns until now.
By technicality, none of the Steam versions of these games have such content, as it had to be censored to make it onto Steam initially. HuniePop, Mutiny!!!, and The Stargazers, according to Valve, have been reported by unnamed users for 'pornographic content', and are to be pulled from sale within 2 weeks if changes are not made. A handful of 'adult' themed game developers have received emails from Valve, requesting that the games either remove supposed content that goes against Steam's TOS, or be removed from the Steam Store entirely.
