This video explores Steam's recent policy changes and how they are impacting the gaming industry. We cover Valve's new rules for games with mature themes, including the quiet ban on Early Access releases and a major shift in how post-launch content can be added. Historically, developers have used free updates to introduce new features and content, but Valve now requires any new mature content to be released as a separate, reviewed DLC. We break down what this means for both indie and AAA games.
