Gameplay streaming site Twitch has banned Adults Only (AO) titles, as rated by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB):

"While the ESRB ratings apply exclusively to US titles, our policy extends to versions of these games in all territories," the company blog said. "Generally, if the US version is rated for Adults Only (18+) or has an equivalent rating in your territory, you should not broadcast that game on Twitch."

So what games cannot be streamed on Twitch? The list of AO titles can be found here and includes Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude Uncut and Uncensored, Thrill Kill, All Nude Nikki, Body Language, Riana Rouge, Manhunt 2 and several others. The list is surprisingly short.

Games previously rated AO but later rated Mature, such as Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, are allowed.
