  This is an old article BTW, and it’s apparently not really true? Or at least different than what the article makes it seem.

  Rumors are not facts

  Ladies and Gentlemen,

  I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumors that Steam doesn’t allow NSFW games to release free updates, only paid DLCs.

  This is simply not true.

  Since our game’s release, we’ve rolled out numerous free updates, with the latest major content update dropping just three days ago.

  Steam hasn’t officially changed its policies, and there’s no rule in the Terms of Service supporting this claim.

  These rumors stem from a handful of vague NSFW game developer announcements with no solid backing.

  We will continue to release free updates in the future.

  Have a great day!

  The article talks about games that are marked adult-only with warnings, but apparently the problem is only with games that don’t have any NSFW content yet, and want to add it through updates or patches. Games that already have NSFW content will be able to receive patches that add more of that stuff.

    19th of September 2025, seem fresh enough to me, and the game isn’t the same. Maybe they once again changed their policy.

      Two weeks is ancient, when it comes to stuff like this, in my opinion.

      The thing is, the article doesn’t make it clear, that this is about technically SFW games, that add NSFW content later down the line.

      I don’t know if that’s a new policy because of the recent issues or if it was always a policy, just not enforced.
