In the case of Summer Crush, it was released before the rules changed, but as far as I know, its Episode 8 update was still rejected.
Games like University Days S2, RAVE, and Tune in to the Show S2, which were all registered on Steam as ‘coming soon’ before the regulation changes, were also reportedly rejected due to the new rules.
Honestly, Steam’s regulations are so inconsistent that it’s hard to understand...
For reference, Villain's Legacy 2 was recently released in Early Access. I’m also wondering why that one was allowed as an exception.
