Itch.io starts reindexing free NSFW content


Discussions with payment processors ongoing will dictate when paid adult content can return.

Digital storefront Itch.io is reindexing its free adult games, and is talking to its partnered payment processors about plans to gradually reintroduce paid NSFW content. This week, solo developer Cara Cadaver told Engadget that her game, VILE: Exhumed,has been removed from and banned by Steam on the basis of it having scenes of "sexual content with depictions of real people," a description she says is not accurate. VILE: Exhumed is a mainly text-based game, and has been well received in previews, landing a spot on Six One Indie ’s Best of PAX East roundup back in May.
