These types of games don't really belong on this platform and the platform fits more for younger audiences. So them getting rid of NSFW games entirely will definitely help them in the long run. NSFW games aren't even real "games", nobody is playing them with two hands. And since children use this platform, it is wrong if they would be exposed to that kind of content. Most people are hating on Itch.io for doing this aren't seeing the bigger picture and how this would help itch.io in the long run.

Edit: My fault, I did not know this website was 13+. But I still do think that them removing NSFW games will let them lower the minimum age requirement easier. 

Also, I am not supporting the censorship. I do not think any websites should be forced to remove NSFW games but I do think that if itch.io removed them, it would benefit the website by making it more family friendly. And my only real issue is the porn content, I don't really have any issue with violent games (if it isn't too graphic).

I won't be talking about this stuff anymore. You guys can disagree all you want, but I will stand with my opinion. I understand developers who made these games aren't making money from them anymore. However, in life nothing is gauranteed. Hopefully, itch.io can grow from this and not let it destroy the platform.

Also now that NSFW games are back, you guys can stop crying.
 

I don`t think is a good idea.

 NSFW games aren't even real "games", nobody is playing them with two hands.

That's an unfair statement. People seeking what you think they seek can just go to a regular nsfw site that even has real people. No game play needed. Coincidentally, the most popular topic on those sites is "family". The very incest topic that is now forbidden in games, due to payment processors demands.

Do you also think that any reader of raunchy pulp romance novels reads with one hand only? And what do you think people do, while watching Game of Thrones?

It is rule34 in action. Games exist, so there is nsfw games. I am an adult. Why should I play Mario, if I can play Mario with blackjack and the other thing.

Many adult games are not good games, but that is true for most regular indie games here too. Ever visited the popular section with all those horror games? Why do people play games that are scary and have blood in them? Because it is thrilling. Know what is also thrilling? Adult games.

If this was Steam or Reddit I would be sure bro is just farming karma/shop points. 

It's funny (in a "what the fuck" way) to see how many people (elsewhere included) seem to have such narrow minds. It doesn't matter if you claim to be a parent, an educator, or hell, a hamburger.  There is far, far more to adult content than just porn and anyone who makes a game with adult content of any sort is clearly in jeopardy, considering how nebulous Itch's new terms are.

Itch is not and should not be centered around children! It is for indie game devs and I'll be fucked before I work on a game aimed at anyone under the age of eighteen.  (That does not mean I am a pornographer, by the way. Horror is NC-17 and Rated R, after all, as it has adult content.)

Censorship is NEVER OKAY and just because you think you can appoint yourself as part of the "Morality Police," it does NOT mean your point of view is the end-all, be-all to everything.

You know NSFW doesn't just equal porn.....right? 

Be a better parent then

Selling NSFW games on Itch provides Itch with a lot of money. With the games being removed, it also removes that income for Itch.

Hopefully Itch will still be able to keep the lights on around here without the income from those games.

Maybe parents should limit what kinds of content their kids access instead of letting people across the planet do it for them.

Well... We live in the real world, not a LEGO world. As long as parents neglect their responsibilities, children will be exposed to real-world material that is hundreds of times more dangerous than anything in a game. I sometimes find it hard to understand why lazy parents try to shift the blame for their lack of parental guidance onto society or random strangers.

Parents are responsible for what their kids consume and not the sellers who sell them.

No.

The purpose of prohibitions on "obscenity" is to give those in power an easy excuse to expunge anything that displeases them by deeming it "obscene."  They do it this way because it rallies public support from people who can't really be bothered to look too closely at what is actually being impacted.  If it was banned, they think, then it must have been obscene!  It must have been hurting children, it must have been bad for society!  They wouldn't have banned it otherwise!  Good riddance!

This is exactly what you are doing right now.

Is this bait? Like actually, I refuse to believe "Censorship is good actually because children might make an account and that's the platform's fault" could be someone's actual unfiltered dogshit opinion.

It's even got the "ThInK oF tHe ChIlDrEn" excuse to defend itself, no way this is real
