Gods Unchained Removed from Epic Games Store Following ESRB “Adults Only” Rating

Epic Games Store has recently removed the trading card game Gods Unchained from its platform following an “Adults Only” rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). Gods Unchained is a digital trading card game developed by Fuel Games, and it was released on the Epic Games Store in August 2019.

The game was given an “Adults Only” rating due to its use of gambling elements. The ESRB noted that the game allows players to purchase “loot boxes” which contain random digital items. These items can be used to improve a player’s deck, and they can also be sold for real money. The ESRB also noted that the game does not provide any information about the odds of receiving specific items from the loot boxes.

In response to the ESRB rating, Epic Games Store has removed Gods Unchained from its platform. Epic Games Store has stated that it does not allow games with “Adults Only” ratings on its platform, and that it is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for players.

Fuel Games has responded to the removal by stating that it is working to address the issues raised by the ESRB. The company has stated that it is committed to providing a safe and secure gaming experience for players, and that it is working to ensure that all of its games comply with applicable laws and regulations.

The removal of Gods Unchained from Epic Games Store is a reminder of the importance of understanding the ratings system used by the ESRB. It is important for players to understand the ratings of games before they purchase them, as some games may contain content that is not suitable for all players. Additionally, it is important for developers to ensure that their games comply with applicable laws and regulations, as failure to do so could result in their games being removed from platforms like Epic Games Store.
