Steam rules updated to prohibit content that violates rules set forth by payment processors and banks


Valve's rules regarding what developers "shouldn't publish on Steam" have a new clause regarding standards set forth by payment processors.

Prior to the update, the list included 14 clauses, prohibiting things like hate speech, malware, sexual content depicting real people and any form of exploitation of children. The new 15th clause suggests that Steam may additionally have to crack down on specific types of adult content in response to the requirements of payment processors and banks. On a related note, various video game and manga hosting platforms in Japan have in recent years run into trouble with payment processors and credit card networks.
