Adults-Only Rating Prompts Removal of Gods Unchained from Epic Games Store

Immutable's NFT card game Gods Unchained was quietly removed from the Epic Games Store after receiving an "Adults Only" rating from the ESRB. Epic Games does not allow games with this rating on its marketplace, which hosts over 1,548 games. The game's rating was not due to violence or nudity, but because of its crypto elements and the ability for players to earn real-world value.
