Recently, game distribution platforms including Steam and itch.io have removed adult games on a large scale and have not given opportunities to appeal, causing strong ripples and shocks in the game circle. Recently, the senior group world game development support organization IGDA did not strongly pay attention to the forced removal of adult games and criticized the platform for inaction.
·IGDA issued a statement on this incident:
For the game developers involved, clear rules, fair warnings and the right to accept complaints should be given.
It is also pointed out that the platform should formulate relevant rules as soon as possible instead of forcefully removing them, or even not giving opportunities and windows for reasonable appeals, which has seriously violated the platform's responsibilities.
IGDA also provides a special communication window specifically for developers involved in events with enthusiastic players: click to learn.
