Itch.io starts reindexing free NSFW content
Itch.io, a digital storefront, is reindexing its free adult games and communicating with its payment processors about gradually reintroducing paid NSFW content. This decision aims to "confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term." Itch.io has instructed developers to tick a "no payments" box to have their games back on the store, and it is introducing a new content warnings system for NSFW-tagged pages. However, one of Itch.io's payment processors, Stripe, can no longer process payments for games "designed for sexual gratification" due to new restrictions from its banking partners. Itch.io is now in talks with its other payment partners to find a solution. The future of adult content on Itch.io remains uncertain, as the recent changes have resulted in the removal and banning of some games, such as the text-based game "VILE: Exhumed," from other platforms like Steam.
