itch could have stood up and posted the information and addresses for mastercard, visa, and collective shout people instead of caving and tossing the people who made them under the bus but they didn’t.
You speak like you run your very own massive site, as if you're not just like me and have never done this.
You have been going through every negative comment here towards itchio.
As I said, the entire site would not go. That's why I said to downscale it, not accept new payments, stareta ccepting donations and crypto currencies. I'm no webdev but it doesn't seem like they really had no options here.
I'm speaking as someone who understands the absolute fucking basics of economics.
A site with zero money (which is what would happen if they could not get paid by any means, which is what would happen with zero payment processors working with them) cannot operate. Because site operations takes money.
"Accept crypto and donations" is flat out not a real solution whatsoever. I've explained why before, but to summarize: Donations cannot pay game developers as much as they've legally earned, and crypto has never been viable as an actual currency for normal transactions - outside of one (1) singular pizza over a decade ago, it's still only used for buying illegal shit (which is still the overwhelming minority of its use) and gambling.
Also "every negative comment" is like. Just threads started by two people.
