“We have already reviewed your latest version and we will not be able to send Super Seducer 3 on Steam. As we mentioned earlier, Steam does not send sexually explicit images of real people,” Steam wrote. “After multiple re-submissions of products and product reviews, we feel we are at a dead end and therefore this decision is final. We have no additional feedback or details to share than we have given in previous conversations.”
La Ruina also explained how Steam rejected both the uncensored and uncensored (Twitch) versions, never giving details of what content they did not like, blocked the Super Seducer 3 demo that was a censored gym level, and said that “if I was an ESRB M rating that would not influence their decision. ‘Despite La Ruina’s promise to “take a butcher knife to the game and take weeks to make all sorts of changes”, Steam continued to say “we are not going to sell or reconsider the game.”
This is not the first time the Super Seducer series has found itself in this situation, as the first game would appear on PlayStation 4 before Sony decided against it.
Super Seducer: How to Talk to Girls and Super Seducer 2: Advanced Seduction Tactics are both still on sale on Steam.
