  • Itch.io now blocks UK users from viewing NSFW game creator profiles, though some individual adult games remain accessible after age verification.
  • The restrictions started in August and align with the UK’s Online Safety Act requiring stricter age checks for adult content.
  • Developers lose UK discoverability while players can’t browse creator catalogs, forcing them to rely on direct links shared elsewhere.

    Some NSFW games have been reindexed, yes however they are still going through and deciding which ones abide by their policies.

      That’s not what I was meaning. Last I saw, games were reindexed, but only in the case that they’re made entirely freely available.
