to explain that the game was no longer compliant under a policy change dating back to 2018 banning adult video games that use real photos/videos of human actors.Īnd Totem Entertainment isn’t alone, as the game Bad Ass Babes was also banned from Steam with Valve representing the game as retired “at the request of the publisher.” Thatcher Products has posted the entire email received by Valve notifying that their game was no longer in compliance with Valve’s policies.

In an unconventional twist, Valve reached out to Totem Ent. IStripper has been effectively banned from the Steam store, but for some reason Valve is representing the game as having been removed voluntarily at the request of Totem Entertainment.

What they are is unhappy with Valve misrepresenting why the game is no longer on sale. Developer Totem Entertainment is none of those things. Now dozens of games get retired from Steam on a weekly basis for any number of reasons poor sales, bankruptcy, developer focusing on newer titles, etc. Notice: At the request of the publisher, iStripper is no longer available for sale on Steam. If you head over to the iStripper store page you might find that the game is no longer available for purchase. Not that I would know from personal experience. What iStripper is is a program that puts strippers on your desktop, like the programs you saw floating around the internet 10+ years ago but without all the spyware/trojan horse viruses that tended to accompany those programs. In fact the name might not be that obvious, just ignore my jokes. IStripper is exactly what it sounds like, unless you saw the i and thought it was a device that beams a holographic stripper into your living room. Games retired are anything but voluntary.
