Stripe shut down my account immediately, just as I expected they would. This means I have no way to accept payments through itch.io. This was a short lived experiment that proves direct payments are not an option for adult content creators on itch.io. I know a few other developers are taking direct payments, but they do get shut down as soon as PayPal or Stripe figure out what they're selling.
I'm sure sorry about this. I tried. You'll have to go through Patreon or SubscribeStar to access the full versions of my works until I can find a platform that I can sell my works through.

The same thing happened to me. I see all of the adult content on Itch, and yet I can sell nothing there. I've made nearly $10,000.00 over the past 3 years, and now zilch. Dead in the water!
These companies need reasonable regulations, or we'll see a future in which greedy corporations decide what we're allowed to create, what we're allowed to say, and what we're allowed to think.
I totally agree.
Trying to find you on Subscribe Star. No luck can you supply the link?
Sure! Thanks for the support, Jay! SubscribeStar
Be sure to drop by the Discord too.
Well, that sucks.
Hopefully companies stop being so stuck up in the future..
I'm just sitting here in shock and dismay wondering how this is even legal. I can't conduct business because the middlemen who control the flow of money won't allow me to make transactions. I mean, that's crazy, right?
I'm curious how the 1,000's of other adult creators here are still selling their content, I've made at least 10-15 purchases from Itch.io over the last few months, and just using normal payment methods. So, I don't understand why you and a few other dev's are singled out.
I'm curious about that too. I've been having a rough time of it lately.
I just seen the news on Patreon...
The Rose Garden trilogy has gotten me into a lot of hot water. Now Patreon is having themselves another purge. I just have to put that series to bed, or it's going to be the death of me. I hate this, but it's what I need to do to survive.
Yeah, I've seen the Patteon purge since November of last year, and now even if a game has an outside patch they wipe them.
please don't there has to be another way I've been waiting for the complete series and my mind will not be at ease... is there anything we can do to help you finish it. I can't wait for OTM.
There had to be a better way for you to recieve funds and still communicate with us.... like on discord.
I'm on Discord, stridegum. Come chat with me there.
