Titles that use NFT technology and meet guidelines are the only exception to the age rating​

The Epic Games Store has made an exception for games rated Adults Only; it only applies to titles that use blockchain technology.


The update still notes that these games must comply with its blockchain and general guidelines. Games, for example, cannot facilitate gambling and link to NFT marketplaces.


Epic's updated policy also resulted in it re-listing Gods Unchained and Striker Manager 3.


In 2021, Epic welcomed blockchain and NFT titles as Steam was banning them.


CEO Time Sweeney said on social media at the time, "As a technology, the blockchain is just a distributed transactional database with a decentralized business model that incentivizes investment in hardware to expand the database's capacity. This has utility whether or not a particular use of it succeeds or fails."

Truly inspiring words there, Sweeney.

Gotta differentiate yourself from Steam even if that means letting scams on your marketplace 2 years after they had their 15 mins of popularity

Are Block Chain games like if anal beads were made of sharp cubes instead of spheres.
