Epic Games has made an exception for “adults only” games containing NFTs, allowing Gods Unchained and Striker Manager 2023 to return to the platform. These games were initially removed from the Epic Games Store by the ESRB due to their age category. However, Epic Games decided to make an exception for these games specifically because of their use of NFTs.
The change in Epic Games’ policy regarding “adults only” games has enabled the return of these two titles to the EGS. This policy now applies to all “adults only” games, except for those classified based on their use of NFTs.
It is worth noting the explanation provided by an ESRB representative, who stated that these games received an “adults only” rating not only because of the use of NFTs, but primarily due to the implementation of these non-fungible tokens in the games. Factors such as the potential to be rewarded with real money or other tradable items like gift cards or cryptocurrencies influenced this decision.
While Epic Games does not generate controversy regarding NFTs, some players have a different opinion on the matter. They argue that many content labeled as “adults only” rejected by Epic Games is less harmful to users compared to games that feature NFTs.
