When it comes to adult games on Steam, winter is coming. And not in the fun way

An anonymous adult game developer contacted Steam for further clarification on Steam Early Access launch for NSFW content creators + DLC review for post-content NSFW additions. Here's what Steam said:

I recently started working on a adult only rhythm game and got into contact with other adult developers about what to make sure to not do or do when releasing on steam.
One developer told me that there are no EARLY ACCESS games for adult content, but I can not find any such rules on the steam documentation, so I wanted to clarify: Is early access available to adult only games right now?
Another developer told me that they had attempted to do a large content patch for their already released game and instead got told to use DLC's for that. Since updating and patching games is important to keep players happy, I wanted to know if there are any new rules for patching / updating adult only content that are not currently shown in the steam documentation?
I would also like to know if this affects patching and uploading depots after the initial build review that based on the available documentation has to happen alongside the STORE PAGE REVIEW.
Sorry for asking so many question, just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Thanks a lot and have a great day! <3

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. Indeed, we're not distributing Adult Only games that are in Early Access. Sorry.
You're free to update your game post-release, however if you are adding additional mature content we instead ask that you release that content as (potentially free) DLC.
Best Regards,
Zac
Did this response help you solve the issue?
Yes, issue is resolved
No, I need more help

I hear rumblings that EA might continue profiting an oligarchic dictatorship that routinely destabilizes other countries by committing and supporting war crimes and human rights violations while openly ignoring international law, freedom of press, and the right to fair trial

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

New Yokai alert! Meet the Chōchin obake (提灯お化け), a yōkai that belongs to the group of the Tsukumogami (付喪神), or object yōkai. According to Japanese folklore, some tools or objects become alive and self-aware when they reach a certain age, and Chōchin (a paper lantern) are no exception.
