After the controversy that arrives at the time of action. In the spring of 2025, the steam was removed from its catalog MercilesslyA game that promotes the culture of rape and incestuous practices. The managers of this PC purchase platform, Valve, who also decided to tighten the screw of this content.
In an update of its distribution conditions, detected by the SteamdB site, the platform establishes a list of games “that should not publish on Steam”. It quotes the content “which probably breaks the rules and standards established by Steam payment managers and associated cards and banking networks, or Internet access suppliers.”
Pornographic and incestuous games retired from Steam
A spokesman for the Valve platform explains to 404 Media that they were informed that some games “violated the rules” of their online payment partners.
The result is the progressive retreats of certain titles of their catalog, and everyone has one thing in common: they have pornographic content, sometimes they refer to illegal practices. This is the case with Interactive sex: daughter incest of dad BDSMof Sexual people, INTET TELS: Webcam Daughtereither Incet such: sister and mom who made it possible to pretend to be a father or mother with violent sex with his daughters.
An NGO with controllers, in the shade?
This new policy would not be the result of chance. An Australian non -governmental organization, Collective Shout, has claimed this gesture as a victory. Indicates in a triumphant press release that has pressed pressure on Visa, Mastercard or Paypal for Steam to change its policy.
But the controversy gave a political turn when an investigation carried out by Vice, eliminated since then, established a link between the collective cry and a group of American religious activists, Ncose, which seeks to suppress any form of pornography in culture. The Retiro Survey also established links between the collective cry and the transphobic associations.
It was this NGO that had tried to ban the exit Detroit: Becoming a human In Australia, believing that it was not acceptable that a player could access scenes that try abuse in a child, which must be saved on stage.
Savage Ventures, who possesses the media, had decided to eliminate due research “to concerns on a controversial issue”, which led to the renunciation of the journalist, without questioning the elements mentioned in the article.
The excuse of the lack of editorial control
As Steam had remembered at the time of the controversy about MercilesslyValve has no editorial control in his catalog and, therefore, he cannot decide on himself that a game cannot be launched. However, some cases show that actions remain possible. In December 2024, a game that contains the attack on October 7 of Hamas against Israel had been withdrawn from several countries, including France, after complaints from Jewish associations and the seizure of justice for Bruno Retilleau, the Minister of the Interior.
