First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

  What’s stopping them from doing what DLsite did in Japan by using credits purchased off site? Seems like an alternative business opportunity there.

    you mean gift cards bought at convenience stores? or do they buy them using a credit card and then the credits show up in your account?

      They’re gift cards that you can buy from a different online store that’s from a different company. Then you redeem them on DLsite.

  Shame. I’m sure plenty of people will miss great titles like “Cousin Fucker Alabama: Step-sis anal edition” or “I’m a woodman but this ain’t a tree”

    there are many non-pornohraphic games that have been targeted and delisted, but even if there werent, are you happy with 1000 religious weirdos having control over what millions upon millions of other people can and cannot purchase?

    Have you read the title? I doubt they'll stop at porn games, no matter the quality. They could go against Chun-Li cheeks next, or Dead Island blood&gore. Don't forget that such groups of people led to burning comics, or DnD manuals or Harry Potter books.

  What games were taken down? Are they preserved somewhere? Anybody know?

    For the sake of data preservation of NSFW works: check out F95zone

    Pages may contain free links to the data, but they should all contain social media links to the developers and creators as well so that you can actually purchase or contact.

    From what itch.io have posred, I don’t think they’ve been removed as such - they just don’t appear if you browse or search for them.

    Direct links should currently still work if people have them.

  This is literally 9/11 for so many itch io games 😂

  This probably has a lot to do with Texas’ new ID requirement law. These companies don’t want to have to collect IDs and be responsible for maintaining that database of PII.

    not really. Collective Shout is a powerful collective that targets violence, adult content and i think also gaming in general even in contexts that make sense out of their sense what is right and wrong (which I and a lot of others dont agree with)

    Payment offering companies don’t have to this, this would be the job of itch.io to comply

    But this is not necessary, as VPNs exist.
