I accidentally predicted the future again. My bad.
Back onto the matter, it seems as though Valve has hit up some game developers via email regarding the graphically sexual nature of their games, warning them that unless they're adjusted, the games themselves are subject to removal from the platform.
A bunch of developers have been hit other than Huniedev, meaning that this isn't a localized issue, and could possibly affect all future titles on the platform.
It's an anime titty holocaust. https://t.co/4hCfzZBnRz

We've just received some troubling news today that

Now, I know nothing of these games, nor do I want to know anything about them, this is kind of out of nowhere for Valve to do, as they've never really been one seriously police their site like this, and this specific genre is a weird pick out of all the other ones that could potentially be violating Steam's guildlines as of right now. Something must have happened for this to suddenly show up.
Time for my OPINION, not that it matters coming from a fucking furry haha.
I don't like anime, like, at all, and I won't be sad for these games to go, and I don't or can't sympathize with the developers because of it. This is either something Valve just woke up and realized, or they're fucking up somehow. Honestly, I don't think these types of games really belong on Steam, since they're more marketed as lewd stuff than actual video games that are meant to be engaging (AND YES THIS INCLUDES AMOROUS). I always say "if it takes two hands for me to play a porn game, you have failed at making a porn game."
My actual hope is that this is Valve's stepping stone into actually policing their marketplace so it can cull all the shit it constantly gets flooded with every day. This might just be a start for that. It's not a good one, and could probably be handled better, but it's a start. Lastly, I think this will just pass by and nothing will change, because there's simply too many weebs fans of these games for Valve to simply ignore.
Also this is just really funny to me. Huniedev made a hashtag for this whole situation, and it is just… wow.
I still have not heard back from Valve regarding the #waifuholocaust.

EDIT: Added a tweet. Also, fuck I missed a few words in the title. It's supposed to be "Steam appears to be"
