The indie-focused open gaming marketplace Itch.io has abruptly deindexed adult content from its browse and search pages, warning that some games will be permanently removed from the platform. “Our ability to process payments is critical for every creator on our platform,” said Corcoran. Content creators who host their work on Itch.io were given no warning ahead of the decision. It’s unclear if customers are currently able to access games and visual novels that they had paid for prior to the update. “We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of content to ensure we can meet the requirements of our payment processors,” said Corcoran.
