Valve appears to have quietly updated its Steam Early Access policy to no longer accept games with mature themes. "Due to current events, I panicked and contacted my publisher to help me get on Steam Early Access," Dammitbird told GamesMarkt. Now, it seems, this has been extended to include Early Access games. Heavy Hearts, for instance, includes pornographic content, so it's assumed this isn't accepted in Steam Early Access. Eurogamer recently spoke to queer developers who've been caught up in the recent rule changes after itch.io's blanket de-indexing of adult content.
