Rumble Roses-Inspired Adult Catfight Game Rejected by Bank Ahead of Steam Early Access
Solo developer Dire. reported on August 16, 2026 that Japan Post Bank refused to handle transactions for the adult catfight action game Lesbatto! during the Steam early access review process. The developer had moved on August 1 and submitted a change of address, after which the bank, which had previously approved handling, reversed its decision. The rejection has stalled the release schedule, pushing early access to September or later. If Steam's review process does not clear by mid-September, the developer plans to skip Steam entirely and release only on DLsite. Lesbatto! has been in development since 2023, and the developer's Ci-en profile states the game was born from frustration that a sequel to a certain company's women's wrestling game never appeared, indicating strong influence from Rumble Roses. The game is planned for PC via Steam and DLsite, with a free demo available on Ci-en. This incident follows a series of bank rejection reports in August 2026, including a general-audience yuri game and the adult title Yariste Mesubuta, whose developer also faced payment refusal from Steam sales.
