Gods Unchained Removed from Epic Games Store Over Play-To-Earn Elements and 'Adults Only' Rating
• Gods Unchained was removed from the Epic Games Store after being rated "Adults Only" by the ESRB due to its play-to-earn elements • The ESRB gives the AO rating to games with content only suitable for adults over 18; Epic does not allow AO games • Gods Unchained lets players earn cryptocurrency and NFTs by playing, which led to the AO rating per the ESRB's policies • This could set a precedent for other blockchain games with play-to-earn features also getting barred from stores • Epic requires blockchain games to be rated, so unrated early access games may also risk removal later on
