Valve Rejects Retro FPS Over Sexual Assault Warning for Alien Attack Scene

Valve has rejected the launch of retro FPS Fortune's Run on Steam multiple times, delaying its early access release.
One reason given was testers couldn't find a major combat level, which the devs addressed.
Latest rejection was over the game's sexual assault content warning, which Valve felt wasn't warranted.
The game contains a first-person scene of an "emaciated, wrinkled alien creature" assaulting the player.
The two-person dev team is removing the warning despite disagreeing, hoping to get approved before launch day.
