Valve have added a new rule to the Onboarding guide for game developers, noting that payment processors get a say in what stays on Steam.

Newly added rule is:

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

:/ payment processors strike again (slippery slope etc)

    Huh? Investment people definitely didn’t wait for that classification to start turning it into a speculations market. The SEC actions were largely reactive.

    My local bank’s investment and wealth management bros were already all about crypto long before regulations.
