Bottom line: I will think about whether I need Steam at all. If I decide to sell games there, I will issue additional documents. If I don't go back to Steam, then everyone who bought games on Steam will get keys on another platform (most likely it will be EGS) to receive game updates.
And in general, I am disappointed with Valve: they do not help in any way to promote games from indie developers without an audience (but this is a separate topic for a sore subject).
I do not have any other documents now, and I do not want to issue a new document just to satisfy some department. EGS, for example, accepted my passport without any problems.
Details: the partner verification department (KYC) does not want to accept my passport because it was issued more than 10 years ago (although everything was ok 7 years ago when I registered with Steam).
Regarding the delisting of games on Steam.
Briefly: the games have been temporarily excluded from sale until I provide identification documents. Owners of copies of the game can download current versions, but I do not have access to update the games.

3 stages of my level design: I'm not a level designer, I don't know how to do it, I hate level design
Almost final version of the village where the main action of the game takes place. I hate level design :(

Work is underway on loot generation. For now, dropped items will be represented by a mini-crate. The color on the top indicates the item's tier: gray, green, blue, gold.

Thank you very much, but I don't really have much credit for this: I needed a room for the generator and this arch came across in one modular asset - I was just lucky :)
