Right. I’m not saying anything like “Steam must allow all content because free speech” - I’m just saying if someone is trying to make a game with complex or even weird themes, Valve should at least participate in a conversation instead of dealing out irrevocable absolute judgments based on content that isn’t even finished.
After reading a couple more articles I get the strong feeling that steam/valve’a early communication about concerns with the live actor portions likely did convey what they had issues with and the dev is trying to be coy about it by speculating on a scene that magically works better with a young adult. I’m leaning towards them making the change because of expecting the other storefronts to have the same issues.
So they kind of did get more than one chance, but they are focused on the one with the rejection.
