This is an old article BTW, and it's apparently not really true? Or at least different than what the article makes it seem.

(I can't view the link myself, because of a regional block, so I'm trusting another comment, that the quote I copied is correct.)
The article talks about games that are marked adult-only with warnings, but apparently the problem is only with games that don't have any NSFW content yet, so they are technically SFW, and they want to add it through updates or patches. Games that already have NSFW content will be able to receive patches as normal, and add more.
19th of September 2025, seem fresh enough to me, and the game isn't the same. Maybe they once again changed their policy.
But the fact that it wasn't NSFW at first may have worked in their defavor, that's true.
Two weeks is ancient, when it comes to stuff like this, in my opinion.
The thing is, the article doesn't make it clear, that this is about technically SFW games, that add NSFW content later down the line.
I don't know if that's a new policy because of the recent issues or if it was always a policy, just not enforced.
Maybe. We'll see. I didn't see it on the community, I through, considering how active the subject was at first, that it would be of interest to the community.
