Did that ever work anyway? For the last few years i only find porn games via duckduckgo and “You might also be interested in”.
edit: right, respective tags list no porn games anymore.

Exactly. They “crawl” category/tag lists, etc. and follow links. And if there are no links to those pages, they wont be indexed.
