Indie game marketplace Itch.io has debunked claims that horror game Mouthwashing has been deindexed as a result of a crackdown of NSFW content, stating that the title hasn't been appearing in searches on the site for around nine months.
Earlier this month, Steam added a new rule to its list of guidelines outlining what devs are allowed to publish, meaning that "content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam's payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers" is no longer allowed on the platform. This affects, "in particular, certain kinds of adult-only content." It appeared that around 100 games were delisted from the platform in just two days following this.
