Controversy Erupts After Indie Game Rejected by Steam Over Sexual Assault Scene

Indie game Fortune's Run was set to launch on Steam but the developers claim it was rejected for not having sufficiently explicit content to warrant a mature content warning, despite containing a sexual assault scene.
The developers provided a detailed statement claiming Steam said the sexual assault scene was not explicit enough for a mature content warning.
After the developers publicly complained, other industry figures like David Szymanski questioned if there was more to the story. The devs snapped back aggressively.
The developers ultimately got the game approved by removing the mature content warning from the Steam page, transferring it to an in-game warning instead.
The incident has sparked controversy and debate around Steam's game approval process and content warnings.
