Valve have added a new rule to the Onboarding guide for game developers, noting that payment processors get a say in what stays on Steam.

Newly added rule is:

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

:/ payment processors strike again (slippery slope etc)

Why would I add a line break when I don't want or need a line break? It's a list item, not a text paragraph.

I define the layout and spacing in CSS for the li element.

I don't think I've ever noticed this as prevalent or common. If at all then as a strange outlier.

If it's a list item with line breaks, sure. But the linked diff adds it at the end of the li with no content following. And it does so on the previous li. Leading to a line diff on a to this unrelated item.
