After a few days of my steam wishlist being down, logged in today to find this game gone. Trying to wrap my head around how this suddenly got banned on steam myself because I don't see anything in this game that can be construed as underage or incest which leaves us with maybe dubious consent??? I don't know honestly. Since the reviewers don't have to say WHY a game gets banned without being highly ambiguous, we can only guess. My guess without seeing the letter to the dev is "Mary did it".

, it appears that the ban was for "sexualized images of real people":
KosmosGames said:
In my case, I'm not sure the issue is related to payment systems. Support repeatedly found allegedly sexualized images of real people in my game, but no one gave me any specifics. I deleted everything that could resemble real people, including realistic AI images, but it didn't help. Ultimately, after about five months, my game was permanently banned without any specifics.
In that regard, I'd like to point out that real people don't even need to be depicted in sexual situations to get the game banned; a poster or an image on a TV is enough to trigger it.
Lednah's MILFtopia was banned from Steam at the end of October 2024 precisely because there were images of real people on random posters around some rooms. Furthermore, at the end of April, Novel's Boundaries of Morality was banned from Steam because the reviewer failed to distinguish AI-enhanced models, and animations, from real people.
This is another thing that Steam staff should be made aware of, especially given the continued improvement of these AI capabilities that will make these types of distinctions increasingly difficult.
