Publishing Rules

Last updated: 2026.

1. You are responsible for what you publish

When you publish a game on Plaidia, you confirm that you created it or hold all necessary rights, that it complies with these Rules, the Community Guidelines, and applicable law, and that you accept responsibility for its content, scripts, and behavior toward players.

2. Prohibited content in published games

You may not publish games that contain or facilitate:

• any sexual content involving minors or any sexualization of minors (zero tolerance);
• pornographic or sexually explicit content;
• hate speech, extremist content, or glorification of violence or its perpetrators;
• content that is illegal under German or EU law;
• malicious scripts or code (see Section 4);
• scams, phishing, deceptive monetization, or misleading game descriptions;
• infringement of another person's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• content that promotes self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or dangerous activities.

3. Honest content disclosure and age ratings

You must accurately disclose sensitive content (such as violence, blood, horror, gambling mechanics, or strong language) using the disclosure controls provided at publish time. Age ratings are estimated from these disclosures and may be adjusted by us.

• Do not understate or hide sensitive content to obtain a lower age rating.
• Misrepresenting your content is itself a violation and may lead to removal or account action.
• We may re-rate, age-gate, restrict, or remove any game at our discretion.

4. No malicious code

Scripts and code in published games must not attempt to harm users, the platform, or third parties. The following are strictly prohibited and may constitute criminal offenses under, among others, §§ 202a–202c, 303a, and 303b StGB in Germany:

• code that steals, exfiltrates, or harvests credentials, tokens, session data, or personal information;
• code that attempts unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data;
• code designed to damage, alter, suppress, or render unusable data or systems;
• code that disrupts, overloads, or degrades the platform or other users' experience;
• attempts to circumvent platform security, sandboxing, rate limits, or moderation.

5. Moderation of published games

Games may be reviewed at any time — automatically and/or manually, before or after publication. We do not guarantee that every game is individually reviewed before it becomes visible, and review (or the absence of it) does not constitute endorsement or a warranty of safety or legality.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to reject, unpublish, age-gate, restrict, edit metadata for, or permanently remove any game, and to suspend or terminate the accounts of users who break these Rules.

6. Consequences and legal action

Violations may result in removal of content, loss of monetization, suspension, or permanent account termination. Where conduct may be unlawful — in particular malicious code, fraud, IP theft, or offenses involving minors — we reserve the right to preserve relevant data and to report the matter to the competent law enforcement and regulatory authorities and to cooperate with affected rights holders.

Plaidia does not itself decide whether a criminal offense has occurred; that is a matter for the competent authorities and courts. We reserve the right to refer suspected offenses to them.

7. Licensing of published content

By publishing, you grant Plaidia and other users the licenses described in our Terms of Service (for example, the rights needed to host, display, and let others play your game). Review those Terms before publishing.

8. Confirmation at publish time

Before a game can be published, you must confirm that it complies with these Publishing Rules and the Community Guidelines and that you hold the necessary rights to all of its content. We record this confirmation.
