And you know what, coming back to your original post: I think this is exactly the sort of scenario the AI checkbox is trying to avoid. If they had imposed similarly strict tagging requirements for types of NSFW content (one of many possible ‘measures’ I’ve alluded to in my past post) the number of games brought down by this would’ve likely been far lower.
I agree that AI being treated as copyright infringement is unlikely at this stage (I think it should’ve been, but that’s neither here nor there), but with the number of lawsuits flying around in different jurisdictions it’s not a settled fact yet either. If even one of those went a certain way, itch would be in a similar bind as today–just with ‘everything from the past 2-3 years’ instead of ‘everything with NSFW tagging / matching a couple keywords in the description’.
