根據「趴貓」遊戲團隊 NEKO WORKs 公布,老司利日前因《Tropical Liquor》遊戲內容違反 Steam 成人遊戲政策而收到下架警告,機勝警告如今這項警告已被 Valve 撤回。向趴下架
Regarding the removal of Tropical Liquor on Steam,成人撤 we received word that it will be re-evaluated. 😺

不僅是遊戲 NEKO WORKs,連《HuniePop》開發商 HuniePot,開發以及《Mutiny!!》、歉並《The老司利 Stargazers》開發商 Lupiesoft,同樣都收到了 Valve 的致歉來信,請開發商忽略上次的警告信函>
也就是說,2 週後的遊戲內容再審查一事已解除危機。
--- #WAIFUHOLOCAUST UPDATE --- I have just received word from Valve apologizing for the confusion, saying to DISREGARD their previous e-mail about the violation, that they are in the process of re-reviewing the game and will follow up soon.

Lupiesoft has also just received word from Valve that Mutiny!! is being re-reviewed for content, and that the 2 week deadline is off.
We'll update everyone as any more information comes our way.

當然,Valve 收回成命的反覆行為,對許多紳士玩家們而言,這無疑被視為成人遊戲社群與老司機的勝利。有趣的是,Valve 之所以會在近期展開這波下架活動,似乎與美國反性剝削中心(National Center on Sexual Exploitation )的活動鼓吹有關。
