Valve 官方說明和遊戲商的說明

============
官方聲明
Over the past week you may have heard about a game called ‘Rape Day’ coming
soon to Steam. Today we’ve decided not to distribute this game on Steam.
Given our previous communication around Who Gets To Be On The Steam Store?,
we think this decision 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. 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.
針對本個案, 基於遊戲會造成未知的成本和風險, 我們決定不上架
We respect developers’ desire to express themselves, and the purpose of
Steam is to help developers find an audience, but this developer has chosen
content matter and a way of representing it that makes it very difficult for
us to help them do that.
遊戲商聲明
I have not broken any rules, so I don’t see how my game could get banned
unless Steam changes their policies.
However, if Steam does change their policy… and it is absolutely their right
to do so, as a private company, I will do what I can to try and create/and or
find an alternate way of selling and marketing my games.

V社一樣不對之前的政策做修改, 而是以個案來處理, 希望不引起爭議
