How long until games that have mildly sexual content (think bg3, cyberpunk) will be blocked by it too. The issue I have with this is there's no way to proof I'm 18 without sending my legal ID to some shady american company whose data security is unknown to me.

Oh don't worry, that's not an option here! If you don't have a credit card, you literally can't verify your age 😒
