While the sex-driven storytelling of the game may not be for everyone, the conditions of Ladykiller’s Steam launch are still relevant for game developers, especially those that might have been discouraged from exploring similar themes in their own games by Steam’s somewhat inconsistent treatment of sexually explicit games in the past. The game’s creator Christine Love announced via Twitter that Ladykiller in a Bind will be coming to Steam on January 9, and will be doing so without censoring any of its content.
