This is probably the fault of Collective Shout.

Valve is in a position where it has to weigh if a game will be deemed too unsavory to cause a response from payment processors. If this game becomes the tipping point then stram ad a platform can no longer exist.

Getting the word out about games like this is probably the best thing that can happen at this point. It will put it on the radar of the people that are interested and it will let the art exist in a way that isnt totally ephemeral.

The refusal to sell the game on Steam was apparently before all the champing and gnashing of teeth which lead to a bunch of games being pulled; having a young child ride around on a naked masked person who is forced to comply would be contentious either way.
