Itch.io blocks adult game creator profiles for UK users while keeping some games accessible: British gamers can play the spicy games but can’t peek at who makes them.
Itch.io blocks UK access to adult creator profiles while some game pages remain available after age checks. The change aligns with the Online Safety Act.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
Lol, gottem!
Everyone deserves loopholes to censorship
They’re doing their part to protect NSFW game creators, I think that’s a great thing.
Are NSFW games still totally unable to be monetized? I’ve been recovering from surgery for a while and haven’t been able to check anything.
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.
Ahh, that I’m not aware of.
To add to that, most of the games are free but the creator asks for a dollar or two before you download, which is not required to play the game.
