Indie gaming platform Itch.io is re-indexing previously delisted adult content, although only free titles are being restored at this stage. The delisting occurred due to pressure from conservative groups and payment processors over NSFW content. Itch founder Leaf Corcoran noted ongoing discussions with payment processors, indicating a careful approach to reintroducing paid content. Many creators, particularly marginalized individuals, faced significant impacts due to the removal of over 20,000 titles. If agreement on payment processes is not reached, it may hinder the platform's ability to sell products overall.
Indie gaming platform Itch.io has started re-indexing some adult content that was delisted last month due to pressure from conservative groups and payment processors.
While the re-indexing returns certain free content to the platform, it does not resolve the payment issues affecting paid content.
Leaf Corcoran, the founder of Itch, stated that the platform is in ongoing discussions with payment processors and aims to reintroduce paid content cautiously.
Massive delistings impacted thousands of creators, especially those from marginalized groups including queer, trans, and BIPOC developers.
