It's a low light image of a mildly attractive woman with realistic proportions in a non-revealing outfit, part of which is obscured by the game's title. You can probably find plenty of game covers and promo material prior to 2010 that were far more risqué than this. Even more recently, there's the Genesis homebrew Life on Earth: Reimagined which has arguably a far more racy cover image than this, yet it's perfectly A-OK.
It's not like a "Disney mom" in a thong where the cellulite is the only thing you can see, usually in material marketed specifically towards KIDS.
Get the billion dollar corp's dick out of your mouth. You probably think lenna.jpg was some sort of horrific gooner crime against humanity, like that one gay future troon youtuber did. If Steam wants to follow the crowd in having low-T eunuchized slackjawed faggots in charge of moderation, then it needs to be destroyed along with every other left-aligned shithole, no matter how big it may presently be. No compromise, ever. Otherwise we get another GamerGate. And another. Until those faggots learn.

After reading the explanations: if that game was on the Steam store in general categories, the splash art would definitely be different.

Cool. But we're not living 15 years in the past if you haven't noticed. And Valve was also affected by the Mastercard/VISA bullshit in case you missed that entire shitshow.

It's perfectly A-OK because it isn't even on the store. Why would you use a mod for a game as an example?
Get the billion dollar corp's dick out of your mouth.
Get this random ass devs dick out your mouth who misrepresents what actually fucking happened to play the victim for PR purposes.
It's not about cover images. It's about the "capsule" images. The landscape oriented ones that show up in the store search UI (or StreamDB).
Once someone intentionally clicks through to a specific game, it's not an issue anymore.
Basically the difference of what you can sell in a physical shop vs. what you can set up as a window display in a physical shop. You have a lot of freedom in one context and considerably less in the other.
Not to say I think this one should be a problem for a capsule image, but Steam definitely allows far far lewder things on the individual game pages.
The fact you’re going this hard against any kind explanation of the issue, for a game no one is going to play, tells me more about you (and this site) than about Steam.
