Yes - and Japanese gay porn games are an easy soft target before they go on to ban things they really want to ban. We've been through this before in the 70s-90s.

The initial ban wave was against incest games.

Almost certainly won't end there without significant consumer pushback against the payment processor Valve uses as well as both VISA and Mastercard.
