Around 2025-07-24 00:00 UTC, I noticed that all
adult games on itch.io had been delisted thanks to
conversations on Discord and a sudden influx of
activity in the official itch.io discord server.
About an hour before this happened at 2025-07-23
23:19 UTC, Leaf posted just "🫡" with no
accompanying message in the #news
channel of the official Discord server.
In the itch.io Discord server, I noticed users speculating that the delisting was happening because of the Collective Shout campaign, which had caused Steam to remove a lot of adult content from its platform just about a week earlier.
I decided to post about this on t/suki around 2025-07-24 05:00 UTC. At this time, I noticed that only 48 results appeared on itch.io's website if you tried to filter by the adult tag.
