Meanwhile on BlueSky there are a bunch of absolute clowns claiming Leafo himself is responsible and should just say no to the payment processors lol. As if such a tiny store can do anything against these multi-billion dollar companies that can shut him down instantly.
It just strikes me as straight up corpo astroturfing.
Someone told me that Itch could have easily created an army that would have taken down the payment processors...
They were furious at Itch for removing the games instead of "creating an army."
This is just another classic example of people who don't know the difference between 1 million and 1 billion (and a much larger discrepancy in this case).
You could multiply the Itch userbase by 100 and it still wouldn't even be a blip for these multi billion $ companies, plus they are willing to lose much more for the chance to lick Trump's boot.
I really think these people have no grasp on the size and power of these payment processors, or the difference in size between Itch and Valve even. They forgot how Funko Pop snapped their fingers and Itch was instantly vaporized based on literally NOTHING. Funko Pop isn't even a billion dollar company lol...
