removedYou may have heard that Steam is removing some adult games due to containing some content they don't like. These games are being retired, and games that are retired can no longer be purchased but can still be played by those who have already purchased them.
removedI am hopeful that Leaving DNA will not be affected by this--we don't know yet if Steam is only taking out the "worst offenders" or if they will go deeper, but assuming you've already purchased the game then even if it is retired you will not lose access to it. In the meantime, I will finish development of the game and continue with the planned story regardless of what Steam does.

Thanks very much for being patient while I continue to work on the update.
