Twitch, the popular live streaming platform known for its gaming content, has a strict policy when it comes to adult content. The platform’s community guidelines explicitly state that any sexually explicit or suggestive activities are outrightly prohibited. This includes playing games with explicit sexual content or nudity. Twitch’s guidelines are in place to ensure the platform remains safe and inclusive for users of all ages.
One such game you definitely can’t stream on Twitch is “HuniePop.” Developed by an indie developer known as HuniePot, this tile-matching puzzle game combined with dating sim elements was banned due to its explicit sexual content. Despite its anime-style graphics and seemingly harmless gameplay mechanics, “HuniePop” crossed the line with its mature themes and uncensored scenes.
Another title that falls into this category is “Yandere Simulator,” a stealth sex chat game about stalking a boy and secretly eliminating any girl who seems interested in him while maintaining the image of an innocent schoolgirl. It’s not hard to see why Twitch would ban this one; aside from its violent nature, it also features panty shots as a mechanic for gaining power-ups.
The infamous “Manhunt 2” by Rockstar Games is also prohibited on Twitch due to extreme violence and graphic scenes of torture. While the original version was toned down after receiving an Adults Only rating from ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board), even the edited version still contains disturbing material deemed inappropriate for streaming.
“Sakura Swim Club,” developed by Winged Cloud, is another visual novel game that got hit with Twitch’s ban hammer. Featuring lewd artwork and sexually suggestive scenarios involving high school girls in swimwear, it’s clear why this title isn’t allowed.
Similarly, “House Party” by Eek! Games LLC has been barred from being streamed on Twitch owing Porn Games to its strong adult themes including nudity and simulated sex acts among other things. Although there have been some updates to reduce the explicit content, it still remains on Twitch’s banned list.
The ban also extends to games like “Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Director’s Cut,” an interactive drama and action-adventure game developed by Quantic Dream. The original version of the game was allowed, but the director’s cut, featuring extended scenes with explicit sexual content, is not permitted on Twitch.
While these rules may seem limiting to some, they are crucial in maintaining a safe environment for users. It’s important for streamers to be aware of these restrictions before deciding what games they can share with their audience. Ultimately, Twitch is about creating a fun and inclusive community where gamers can share their passion without crossing lines that make others uncomfortable.
