The term "milf" was more there to exaggerate the line. Buf if he wants to make us a SC2, I'm the first to be delighted. Have you tried to submit SL to Steam to see il they like or not SC, Connie or Yuki characters ?

nope - as SL will be rejected by other characters like yuki and conny - they even rejected Melody for "Melody looking too young". They named Melody in particular, but didn't mention what exactly on Melody made them to refuse her.
I mean, it's not rocket science -- they'll typically reject characters who have appearance common for middle- or high-schoolers (short, relatively small breasted, round childish face) and have sex, regardless of how many "they're 18+ year old college students" gets plastered on the game. Yes, i know, "there's older women who look this young" but Steam isn't interested in risking getting smeared as "platform for child p*rn" based on such technicalities for the sake of publishing a few more games, when they get thousands as it is.

But that is not true
They randomly reject some and not others with the SAME look
I own and have wishlisted 7-9 VNs on Steam ALL with at least one character who looks younger than Sofi in Mel so of course way younger than Mel
They are nuts
It all comes down to WHO does the review
Like you note yourself, it comes down to the person who does the review, so it's not exactly "randomly". Some people on their staff will have more strict views than others, someone's opinions can change over years, or even their internal guidelines can become more strict or lenient, but it's not really something you can rely on when you spend 2-3 years on making a game.

Not to forget the bad (illegal ??? - no personal proof so far, only knowing what i have been told) practise of STEAM happened to devs i know:
First Valve took their page down, then all paid money has been frozen and not paid out to the dev.
After asking what happens to that money, Valve answered that they will pay back all the people who purchased.
BUT:
Talking directly to the people who bought, all user which were asked didn't get any money back at all.
Asking Valve about that, the only answer has been like "You are banned - because of ToS violation your money is confiscated and you have no say and no right to be informed what we do after you being banned."
The first time i heared such things, i couldn't believe it and thought the dev exaggerated - but i now know more than one dev who actually independently from each other told the same experience.

no clue about GOG, just that i know Dots mentionned GOG is no alternative for us after he did some research.
Best and only fair solution (at least until now) is still Subscribestar.

I’m curious how much extra money do people make on steam. It’s seem like every dev wants to get on steam.

What i still don't understand:
If you have a game which has some girls who just LOOK too young, it's a terribe no no and you will be banned. (patreon)
BUT:
If you report a game (like Raptus on patreon), which one and only goal is to beat up women, break their bones, rape them and rip unborn babies out of their womb, you only got as response "It's just a fictive story - nothing we will do against".
So i stopped to ask and came to the understanding that there are no binding equal standards for all. Maybe support people simply throw dice every day which game they take down, and which not. It's pure luck whether you get banned or not - not really depending on your content. I just gave up to think about WHY - can't do anything against that practice anyways and it will only cost your energy.
EDIT:
WHOW - i take it back - seems they NOW act after months of doing nothing

it's less the money - it's more like creating publicity. (millions of new players get to know your work)
Even more as steam takes a 30% cut for themself.
And you don't get a permanent support, you only get paid once - updates are for free, as it's no new game or dlc - so overall the money is less than SS or patreon.

doubt any1 will reveal numbers but if patreon gives few thousand then steam can give that sum tenfold.
right, can make mass slaughter but not young looking girls having sex.
