Does that mean that the site has a policy where they will take down games that use NFTs, if those games are reported to them?

I saw the itch Twitter post and commend the simple and straighforward condemnation of NFTs. There are some games up on here that apparently involve NFTs, and I can imagine that number will grow.
What does the site plan to do? Some thoughts - perhaps having a clear statement and letting people make their own minds up is a sensible thing - perhaps having the tweet written up as a few paragraphs and made clearly visible on the site somewhere, or even with games that mention NFTs would be appropriate; perhaps putting out one email to all members to help raise awareness would be a really positive move to get out the message too.
Equally you could take a harder stance and have a reporting system, or a community-led team that weeds out such games, if it was decided to ban them from the site altogether.
No matter what happens going forward, I'm just happy to see a big site like this openly taking a stance, and helping shut this crap down before too many people get sucked into it. I don't even use this site much and I was moved to log in and write this, because technology needs to be used for good, and this obviously is not that.
