The article calls out “certain adult games” which is vague. It is interesting to note that most of the delisted games were themed specifically around incest.

Wondering if this will be a slippery slope towards pulling more anodyne stuff.

A Quick Look at the list has me wishing I hadn’t thought to look at the list.

I suspect the vague “certain adult games” was chosen because it makes it sound more controversial. If the headline was “Valve removed incest-themed games under pressure” there would be a lesser reaction.
