UPDATE 6/3/19: Valve says it has "decided not to distribute" Rape Day, a sexually explicit game in which, according to its Steam listing page, players are able to "control the choices of a menacing serial killer rapist".
Last year, following the furore around school-shooting game Active Shooter, Valve unveiled a new content policy for its digital storefront, announcing that it would "allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling". In light of this, Valve says its decision not to distribute Rape Day on Steam "warrants further explanation."
"Much of our policy around what we distribute is, and must be, reactionary-we simply have to wait and see what comes to us via Steam Direct", it wrote in a new blog post. "We then have to make a judgement call about any risk it puts to Valve, our developer partners, or our customers. After significant fact-finding and discussion, we think 'Rape Day' poses unknown costs and risks and therefore won't be on Steam."
