I bet it's 2 because OP said they used "admittedly obviously AI generated from the hands" and a lot of AI generation makes really funky hands that you have to fix because it looks so bad.

So it sounds like OP slapped some half-assed generated images into a game and tried to submit it. Valve now can't really trust someone that does that to have done any due diligence.

The OP's only other reddit post says that they want to start a corporation to avoid associating their name with the game, which is a pretty big red flag to me.

"I've been developing a game for a while now, and am near ready to release it on Steam. I'd prefer it not to be associated with my name (as in I'd prefer people googling my name and future employers being unable to find out i developed this game )."

There’s a high likelihood that it’s probably pornographic or otherwise controversial.

Use copyrighted material in porn that you charge money for and you’ll get slapped with a lawsuit faster than you can load the home screen.

Depending on the genre, that may be a reasonable action. If I were to uncharitably assume OP submitted an adult game with rip-off characters, that would explain both OP & Valve's behaviors. If this transpired at all.

Given the tech involved and allegations I agree with the others that this is a smut game, but shielding yourself with an LLC is a smart move for anybody doing anything controversial, commercially.

Ask Alex Jones...

I wouldn't put my name out there for any piece of media I wanted to publish. People on the internet are insane.

ehh, I've thought about it too. It's almost recommended if you want to make adult games. Even if I don't care about employers who'd reject me for that stuff I don't want crazies harassing my family just because I wanted to make a game with penises in it.
