Sounds like what we were going through when patreon started banning everything...
Some banker saw a game image and said "HEY! That girl's body looks like what my 15 y.o. daughter's does!" *whoops, and how would he know what it looks like?* and suddenly, the "BanHammer" slams down. SOMEBODY reported your game, I'll lay ya odds on that. Some stuck up, frustrated, morally corrupt, asshat that wants to bang his RL 15 Y.O. said that your game depicted just what his mind was imagining him doing in RL, and hence... the ban. :censored:

That's kinda what it feels like. The page had been up for so long already including sex animations with Mia in them. It wasn't a problem until I asked them why it took them so long to approve my final build, then it got insta banned. I was amazed at their speed : D

Steam just informed me that they banned my game because it depicts "sexual acts with a minor" aka Mia. I'm kinda lost right now. She has a petite body type but she really isn't depicted as a minor at all. I don't know if I'm just blind to this stuff cause I read too much hentai but I really feel like she is perfectly fine...

I'm not sure. Gonna write to support and try to clear it up, but they didn't even talk to me first, just banned the game immediately. Don't think I have high chances of getting this fixed. That's a real bummer. Not only because of the money, I was also looking forward to my own game on Steam...

Damn, those are sad news. Can't say I didn't see it coming, though - was only a matter of time with how platforms operate now.

Don't think Mia ever came off as a minor to anyone and her playing into it(the whole being small thing) only made her scenes all the more better, as it is her strength and playing into it can only be good. Very glad you weren't cowardly about it as it ultimately made Mia the best character imo combined with her overall great personality that made the player excited for every new interaction. Unfortunately, not much of a ground to negotiate on now, especially with how silent they were.

That's probably the answer right there, I'm assuming anyways. Like, someone got mad at you for asking and banned your game for it. The whole adult stuff is weird on Steam. Some games need patches, some do not. Summer with Mia Season 1 is on there, but the second Season is banned, etc.

Hopefully everything gets resolved and your game gets back onto Steam. Sorry you and your game have to deal with this, especially from out of nowhere. This world sure is pretty ass backwards.

I'm very sad to hear that, I hope they will revert the decision, but it's hard to tell, especially if they used the unfair "[...] This app has been banned and cannot be reused. Re-submissions of this app, even with modifications, will not be accepted.", otherwise, since it was initially accepted, maybe there is still a little hope, assuming that you can have at least a dialogue with them :rolleyes:

It is quite well known that, shockingly and blatantly, since they started allowing them, they unprofessionally apply subjective double standard for the selection of adult games to be published, thanks also to the lack of clear public rules of reference. The most recent article on the subject I found is this:
You must be registered to see the links
, and it isn't even about a real uncensored adult game :mad:

This world is so fucked up, when it comes to depictions of things in games and films/tv shows...
We can see people with heads blown open, brains scattered, limbs torn off, blood everywhere and that is fine... Oh, they'll put a little warning on it saying "contains graphic violence" and "Not for under 17" and shit like that, but show a naked body, or 2 people having sex, or a "petite" person doing "adult" things and suddenly, you're the Devil incarnate and must be destroyed.

And ssjgssj's comment on "western shit" is SOOOO not the case... Just look at japan's censorship laws, and what they allow in their games/films/tv shows, and what they don't. Rape and loli's and such are fine... but OH NO, don't let our innocent eyes actually see the genitals... "fucking idiocy*

That's really a bs. Other games like Subverse(bad game tbh) have bestiality or whatever I can recall and still they've nothing against it because it's a huge project. Or what about Dlsite English? I'm sure there no one would ban it. Anyway sorry to hear that and I hope it'll work without problems using other platforms.

I always thought my game was pretty vanilla. A ban on steam is surprising.

It is. Just put a disclaimer in the splash screen saying that all characters depicted in the story are over the age of 18. Then resubmit it to steam for re-release. If they don't like that then tell them to go pound salt.

Seriously though, I think this is just dumb that you would even have to do this. None of the characters really look that young in my opinion. Mia could easily pass for a high school graduate so at least 18.

I'm thinking the person who banned you on steam might not be able to tell the difference between children and adults (or they could just be trying to hide what they are really into a little too hard)so they want everyone to look like they are 40+ so they don't have to think.

The same problem as Under the Witch. After some modifications, it launched on steam as Hero's Journey
