Ah, I didn’t hear that Valve did the take downs in waves.
But I did hear itch.io took down everything, including things with labels that happen to frequently overlap with porn, but are not in-fact, porn.
I’m interested in seeing reporting on the different stages of take downs. Anyone have a link? My Google fu is failing me.
I don't know that anyone has put together a complete list of games taken down specifically because of this, but you can look at steam-tracker.com and sort by date to see what has been removed recently. It doesn't show why a game was removed, but you can usually infer a lot from the title and cover art.
Also I should clarify it wasn't specifically multiple large waves, there was a large initial group, but the remainder have been slowly trickling in. I'd guess there's someone going through Steams catalog slowly flagging games to remove. The first group was likely an easy keyword search, while the rest are being evaluated on a case by case basis most likely.
