The UK games industry trade body UKIE has spoken out against the removal of adult games from Steam and itch.io, urging payment providers to trust existing age rating systems like PEGI for content classification.
In a significant shift, Itch.io has deindexed adult and NSFW games following pressure from advocacy group Collective Shout, which criticized violent game content. This decision aims to align with payment processors' standards and safeguard the platform's future.
