Itch.io Is Restoring NSFW Games—as Long as They’re Free

Itch.io, the popular indie game marketplace, has announced that it will be restoring adult-themed games to its platform, as long as they are available for free.

The decision comes after Itch.io faced backlash for removing several adult-themed games from its platform earlier this year.

In a statement, Itch.io CEO Joshua Scorcher said, “We believe in supporting creators of all kinds, and that includes those who make adult-themed content. As long as the games are free to play, we will allow them on our platform.”

Many developers and players have welcomed the decision, praising Itch.io for championing freedom of expression in the gaming community.

However, some have criticized the platform for restricting access to paid adult games, arguing that creators should have the right to charge for their work.

Itch.io has not yet commented on whether it will reconsider its policy on paid adult games in the future.

Overall, the decision to restore NSFW games to Itch.io’s platform has sparked a debate within the gaming community about censorship, creativity, and the right of creators to monetize their work.

It will be interesting to see how Itch.io navigates this complex issue moving forward.

For now, adult game developers who offer their games for free can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that they have a platform to showcase their work.
