Itch.io Is Restoring NSFW Games—as Long as They’re Free
Itch.io, a popular indie game marketplace, has announced that it will be restoring adult or “Not Safe For Work” (NSFW) games to its platform, under certain conditions.
The decision comes after Itch.io had implemented a ban on NSFW content earlier, which sparked backlash from developers and the community.
Itch.io’s new policy states that adult games will be allowed as long as they are free to play. The platform will not host any paid adult content.
This move has been welcomed by many developers who create adult games, as it allows them to showcase their work on a popular platform without the burden of payment restrictions.
Itch.io has emphasized that it remains committed to supporting a diverse range of games and creators, including those who work in the adult gaming industry.
The platform will continue to provide tools for developers to manage and moderate their content, ensuring that it complies with community guidelines.
Itch.io’s decision to allow free NSFW games reflects a growing trend in the gaming industry towards more inclusive and diverse content, catering to a wider range of player preferences.
While some may still have reservations about adult content in games, Itch.io’s move signals a shift towards greater acceptance and recognition of adult games as a legitimate form of artistic expression.
Developers can now submit their free NSFW games to Itch.io, reaching a larger audience and benefiting from the platform’s support for indie creators.
Overall, Itch.io’s decision to restore NSFW games is a positive step towards fostering creativity, diversity, and inclusion in the gaming community.
