Gods unleashed Despite this, it quickly returned to the Epic Games Store expelled a week ago for receiving an ‘Adults Only’ rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.
Likewise, Web3 game Striker Manager 3 – also recently removed due to an over 18 rating – is back in Epic.

Epic Games’ stance against unacceptable content
While Epic opens its arms to blockchain games, even if they aren’t kid-friendly, the gaming powerhouse signals a shift in gaming as gamers begin to earn tangible value in the real world as they play.
While blockchain gaming is fully embraced, it’s important to note that Epic (as always) is bowing out to other content categories like pornography, gambling, and hateful material. The company shows a strong commitment to promoting a safe and inclusive gaming environment.
By drawing a clear line on what is acceptable content, the gaming studio creates a balance, enabling innovative developments while maintaining ethical standards.
Now it’s time for more blockchain games to join the same ecosystem as some of the world’s biggest gaming titles like the mighty Fortnite and Rocket League.
