Yes, we’re not alone. My colleagues—studios that also develop adult games and even softcore visual novels—also received bans from the same Mary on Steam.

The situation looked the same as ours: a scenario similar to our two months of approvals from moderators with male usernames, followed by Mary’s refusal over “minors” (unfortunately, she’s their boss).Yeah, we are not only one the same.

Yes, a private site for adult games, independent from government censorship and pressure from payment systems, would solve the problem. But for now, indie developers with teams of 1–2 people like our studio can somehow survive only by releasing games on a platform that monopolistically controls the entire game market… Steam.
