Given that it’s being allowed on multiple different platforms now that the “child riding a naked person in a horse mask” sequence has been removed, it definitely stinks of spin from the dev trying to get more publicity.
Yeah, I’m on the side of if it’s legal it should be allowed, but having read about the scene and watched the trailer I think it’s kind of disingenuous for the developer to pretend this was a surprise. Getting that on to steam would be a coin flip even without the recent controversies.

If it’s being allowed on multiple different platforms, I don’t klow what he’s complaining about.

Given that the game is going to release on Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble Store, I actually do find it surprising.
Steam / Valve seems to be the outlier here.
The description of the scene that got the game banned is not even remotely sexual, just a bit weird / uncomfortable which is the entire point they’re trying to make. And that scene is not even in the game anymore.

They sent the version with a child only to valve

If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, it is a dog. They are definitely pulling out a publicity stunt. Their site proudly promotes the fact that they got banned off steam. You bet that is intentional.
