The weirdest randomness in Steam. Who you get evaluating makes a world of difference I guessMrDots tried whatever he could - be assured. That's when he has been told that if he further tries to get Melody on STEAM, he will be banned at all. Afterall it's not worth the effort to remake old games, we just have to be sure that the next game(s) will be according to the rules (At least until they are listed)

and

are on Steam (I own them both) and compared to Melody...
How TF is Mel the only one of those 3 rejected
Steam is super dumb sometimes

Sorry to read Melody was rejected, I can't remember anything in the game that would be a good reason. I really liked that game, will try this and DmD too.MrDots tried whatever he could - be assured.

As for not allowing changes, it's somewhat understandable. If a game has multiple versions and it's controversial, Steam can get in trouble even if they only sell the edited one. They don't want any investigation to begin with.
E.g. Patreon prohibits incest yet every game is patched, or players can choose the relationships of characters while the setting obviously signs it's incest. So in the end there's incest in most games they allow on their site. Hard to convince anybody from any authorities that "SISTERLY lust" is about childhood friends.
The same goes for high school setting, it's just dumb to say everybody is over 18 in high school. Of course it could be enough for a private company but won't be enough for the authorities. It seems some companies take the risk while others won't.
Steam is a huge platform with extreme revenue, they simply don't want to take any risks.
On the other hand, they allow japanese games. I never played one but just looking at their banners, well, there isn't a single character who looks like an adult in those.
Melody still shouldn't have been rejected, there's just absolutely no reason.

It depends on what it is. You might be asked to resubmit because your store panels aren't setup correctly, for example. But they are pretty strict on content such as underage, rape, etc.

well she looks older than for example sophie from melody but yea steam had dblstandards.
1 other dev with high school/collegegirls had to change his game and make girls older even patreon saw game as ok and other was similar except it was now adult woman's flashback story (skippable) how she graduated from college/high school .we know.
Even more strange, once you get a rejection, you aren't even allowed to apply changes and re-try again. They made it clear, that once a game is rejected, it's rejected once and for all. We also were warned, that if we try to re-upload Melody again (even if changed), MrDots will be blacklisted permanently.
The most annoying part is, that they didn't even tell what EXACTLY (which girl) is supposed to be "off terms".
ANd finally on top of all that shit, we aren't allowed and/or able to contact staff of Steam to ask/discuss questions about the detailed reason for rejection.
They just act like a bunch of a-holes
so to be safe chars needs to look like 20 years old so steam doesn't ban game.
well 1 game got semi-ban from patreon due sleepsex aka repe and 1 near rape (or actual rape depending choice but 1 other game didn't even having sleepsex (alhough to get that point had to be in relationship with girls)

something like that, both allow some things and then later change their minds.

Doesn't matter... the idiots here don't read the OP anyway... and I doubt that most devs get discovered on Patreon directly.
Might as well go full SubscibeStar at this point.
I realize that it's not easy to transition, but once it's done you're free.
You can also have both.
The devs that have only Patreon are the truly fucked ones...
