[False alarm?] Steam has silently removed all adult games from Next Fest.

After allowing said games to participate and sign up, Steam has apparently silently removed all adult games from the event a little over 24 hours in.

This could be some sort of error, but I think we all know that the more likely scenario is that this is censorship. Again.

I'll keep an eye out on it for now.

Edit: As of now, it seems the adult games are back up, so this may have actually just been an error of some kind.

I'm finding some they're just really buried and there's no selection for adult games on the sidebar.

They're back up now. They were removed for about two hours one day randomly, but it must have just been a server glitch or something.

im seeing a lot of adult game recommendations on my next fest feed, maybe it is something regional?

In my opinion, it's more likely your particular edge server just hasn't gotten the update yet. But it is possible it's either regional or an error.
