  Yeah, Stripe is the reason itch.io had to pull all paid NSFW games.

  However, it isn’t exactly their fault, either:

  We spoke with Stripe yesterday about their content policies. They confirmed that they will not be able to support adult content that fits the following definition: “content designed for sexual gratification.”
  Stripe asked us to pass along the following message to our users:

  “Stripe is currently unable to support sexually explicit content due to restrictions placed on them by their banking partners, despite card networks generally supporting adult content (with the appropriate registrations). Stripe has indicated that they hope to be able to support adult content in the future.”

    This is why it’s so hard to fight this, every company blames another one but never by name, I’m sure it’s by design

  In the Itch.io incident, Stripe laid the blame for that on “banking partner” rules, claiming they were looking for ways to fix it.
