- Itch.io now blocks UK users from viewing NSFW game creator profiles, though some individual adult games remain accessible after age verification.
- The restrictions started in August and align with the UK’s Online Safety Act requiring stricter age checks for adult content.
- Developers lose UK discoverability while players can’t browse creator catalogs, forcing them to rely on direct links shared elsewhere.
Thank goodness that telling people they cannot have something means that they immediately comply rather than doing everything in their power to circumvent the obstacles you put in front of them.
