    Regardless of a developer’s intentions with their product, we will not distribute content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor.

    Steam doesn’t usually have a problem with gore.

    day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked “horse” while it’s led by the player.

    I can see how this might’ve been interpreted as sexual.

    Edit just in case: There’s a lot of shady shit Valve does that you could criticize. This is just blatant attention-seeking.

      all characters in Horses are clearly 20 years old

      man and his young daughter

      Weird to write the former in their FAQ but then wonder if the latter might be a problem

        This article mentions that they took the scene out of the final version of the game. It also mentions that the dev claims that the young girl model was just a placeholder, which just raises the question of why they would use a child as a placeholder in such a scene.
