Still itch.io deindexed all nsfw games
Edit: Okay so they now reindexed them.
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.
I don't believe people fault itch.io or steam for what they did. You can be upset with an action and still understand why it was done. It's the same mental allowance you would give to someone if they agreed to cover your shift but the morning of their kid got sick and you had to come in anyway. Sure, you're upset but you also understand that someone would need to take care of their kid.
So we can be upset that NSFW games were delisted. But the other options would be them only getting paid through physically bought Steam and Itich.io gift cards.
Sure but simply saying "they still did X (oh wait they walked back part of X)" doesn't really sound understanding but accusatory.
I wonder why the payment processors went on the backfoot.
Immediate and harsh criticism.
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
Shouldn't be their decision in the first place. Process the fucking payments, payment processors.
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.
