Payment processer overreach is an existential threat to creative expression on the internet. Already, platforms like Steam, Patreon and ItchIO are being forced to censor content.
But it doesn't need to be this way, and we have the solution: WhyCloud
Free and open-source, with WhyCloud anyone will be able to host their own site and process payments - whether it be through standard, high-risk, ACH, or Crypto - no technical knowledge necessary.
As adult game developers, we've been forced to self-host practically all of our websites, and we want to use this knowledge to help other creators.
Without the problem of payment processer censorship being solved, there is a real chance that we could reach a point where it becomes impossible for adult games to be funded, or for adult digital artists to support themselves.
That is why we are launching an Indiegogo campaign to help us fund the development of this tool.
With your support, we can help bring about a world where everyone can Create Fearlessly!
