The onboarding process now prohibits content that violates payment processors' rules and standards, a shift that leaves developers unsure of the specific limitations. A recent removal of about 22 adult games, many linked to incest themes, highlights the enforcement of these vague guidelines. The influence of payment processors like Visa and PayPal may further enforce strict moral standards, impacting the types of content allowed on Steam.
