Nexus Mods will soon require age verification for UK and EU users looking for its treasure trove of adult mods


But it won't say what that looks like yet.

At some point in the relatively near future, Nexus will implement an as-yet-undetermined age-verification system "for the majority of adult content hosted on the site" for users in the UK and EU. When I reached out to the service to ask which options it was looking at, I didn't get any specifics in response, though was reassured that the platform is "confident we can strike a solid balance between user safety and accessibility." That the new system would apply to pornographic content is no surprise, nor is it particularly shocking that it will limit access to material surrounding suicide and self-harm, but "extreme violence" feels like a very blurry area considering the nature of most videogames.
