Recently, a programmer who developed adult games on Steam broke the news on social platforms that he encountered PayPal's freeze in funds due to making adult games, which made the money originally used to pay corporate taxes unable to be used.

According to the developer, his new work sold about 80,000 pounds on Steam a month ago.This money was supposed to be used to pay a huge corporate tax bill in August.However, PayPal has refused to pay him any funds in the past four weeks.

The developer said PayPal had asked him to explain the source of the funding.He explained that the revenue came from his work in programming video games and further pointed out that the sales channel was Steam.After PayPal requested a specific game store page, he submitted the relevant link.But when PayPal discovered that it was an adult game, it immediately refused to release the funds and did not return the funds to the main developer of the project.

"I have filed complaints many times, but there is no progress," the developer said.He also revealed that PayPal freezes funds on the grounds of "violating terms of service", although PayPal is actually far from the game's sales.

According to his description, under normal circumstances, Steam will first pay the income to the main developer, and the main developer will then transfer the funds to the company's account, and then the company will share the profits and pay them to him.But the process has stalled due to PayPal's intervention.

At present, the developer is still facing the dual pressure of inability to use funds and huge tax payments.
