    Still itch.io deindexed all nsfw games

    Edit: Okay so they now reindexed them.

    Today, we are re-indexing free adult NSFW content. We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing paid content slowly to ensure we can confidently support the widest range of creators in the long term.

      Would you rather they had shut down because nobody is able to pay them anymore? They complied with the demands for the time being because they have a business to run - and then they immediately started looking for a solution.

      and stripe apparently plans to allow NSFW content in future, which is super promising.

      I hope itch.io finds an alternative in the meantime though

        One of these moron payment companies is going to realize what’s up sooner or later.

        Patreon is for creators to do creative stuff professionally. Onlyfans tried to be the same thing. The only difference was they allowed NSFW stuff. Now guess which one pulls significantly more revenue?

        If you become the payment processor for NSFW stuff, you can do whatever the hell you want and still be rolling in cash.

    They just missed very old news about how games that depict illegal activities do not really cause people to do illegal activities. Therefore they can’t be illegal themselves.

      Plus, where do you draw the line?
      Social media where users discuss illegal activities? Movies that depict illegal activities?
      There are a lot of illegal activities in the bible.
