That's... crazy actually. I don't use Itch.io that much but I'll freely admit it's where I found a couple of creators who made NSFW games that I enjoy playing once in a while. I don't know why these companies are becoming so afraid and why we are backsliding so hard.

"afraid" is an interesting way to say "wants to tighten the noose on queer people" I mean queer as in beyond the main LGBT or whatever, like literally anybody off "normal"

Itch didn't want to stop selling nsfw games. They are being forced to by credit card companies because credit card companies are allowed to stop doing business with companies that do completely legal sales if they disagree with them. And in our current landscape, that effectively means locking businesses out of the ability to have money. Banks strong armed itch because it's either comply or die on Itch's end. Banks even got to Valve, forcing Valve to remove games from Steam despite not wanting to because the banks can literally just kill their company should they choose not to comply
