I think it’s interesting that this isn’t working as well in the pc world. Epic giving away games for free doesn’t seem to be affecting sales numbers on steam (thinking of how incredibly well Baldurs Gate 3 is selling). I can’t imagine Xbox games not on game pass are selling as well as they used to. I’m sure there’s impacts I’m not seeing, but on the surface it looks less successful.
AFAIK it’s purely based on a player reporting system at the moment. So as long as you completely trust your server mates, you should be fine.
I really can’t wrap my head around why. Doing this on public servers I think is annoying, but there’s at least some logic to not wanting kids to stumble into mature content. Private servers though? What could possibly be the reasoning?

WUBE is probably the only company left that I’d pre-order a game from
