Lupiesoft also seemed frustrated that Valve has suddenly changed its content policy, and until today was confident it was playing by the company's rules "After our Steam publisher met with Valve in person, they were told that ecchi content was fine on steam." "In fact has been one of the strictest developers in terms of following Steam's guidelines, and absolutely nothing in Mutiny!! violates their guidelines," Lupiesoft tweeted. "We also met with their representative about a year ago to get face to face clarification on Valve's policies and guidelines regarding patches that restore adult content to titles edited for Steam, and this suggests a reversal of that policy as well." "So if this isn't a simple oversight on their end, then it's a major reversal of the guidelines and policies that were explicitly outlined to us," Pickett said. At the time, Pickett said, Valve spent several weeks reviewing the game to check the content and gave MangaGamer its full approval and guarantee that it fell within Valve's content standards. Pickett said that when MangaGamer first published Kindred Spirits on Steam two years ago, it had gone through a "vigorous" review directly with one of Valve's representatives. "Fortunately we already have our own storefront since we also publish games with explicit adult content that's not suitable for Steam, so regardless of what games get taken down, we'll at least have a place to continue selling our titles, which is more than we can say for some of the indie English developers of Visual Novels," John Pickett, a spokesperson for MangaGamer, said. MangaGamer, a company that localizes and publishes several Japanese visual novels, told Motherboard in an email that it received a notice from Valve Thursday morning for its game Kindred Spirits. Thursday night, HuniePot tweeted that it received an email from Valve, the company that operates Steam, saying that HuniePop, "violates the rules & guidelines for pornographic content on Steam and will be removed from the store unless the game is updated to remove said content." "It's an anime titty holocaust," HuniePot, the developer of HuniePop, a match-3 puzzle game where players also chat up busty anime girls, said in a tweet.
