Wow, I might actually have to stop using itch.io, is nowhere safe from the craziest anymore? I dont even make NSFW games, but bending the knee to dickheads over some overtly religious bullshit isnt gonna work for me.
I don’t think they had much option, they forced by the payment providers…
And thats beyod me, why they have the power to enforce anything like this???
And what is absolutely beyond me, why a group of alt-right femminist from the other side of the globe has power to enforce the payment providers?
Agreed. Game and movie ratings already exist, who the fuck are they to say what we can/can’t access with MY credit card.
I don’t play those games nor use itch.io, but fuck this nonsense.
Credit cards companies forced itch.io to remove these games, otherwise they would stop processing their transactions, effectively bankrupting itch.io.
I understand. And my point still stands. Fuck them
Absolutely. Fuck payment processors
The credit card companies have a word. They shouldn’t exist.

It wasn’t Itch.io’s fault, but the fact that payment processing has been globally monopolized and can force it’s own arbitrary will on anyone without recourse.
Blame Visa and MasterCard and the christofascist scum from Collective Shout.

Why anybody takes a “think of the children” organization seriously when their logo is a butthole is beyond me.
It just proves satire is dead and we live in a world full of idiots.
