i guess if this still will be going on at this point "dispised by developers" sites like f95 turn from pirate sites into only "legal" way to play this types of games
To be honest, I don't think all this will stand. I'm pretty sure Japan have already filed an anti-trust lawsuit, maybe something will come out of that?
It's just all been handled poorly, even some heads up from itch themselves would have been nice. We've all just got to weather the storm right now :(
tbf japan situation is different then ours tho cuz their games of this types legaly sold in stores unless their content dosent go against law, in our case most of games like this made by one guy or small team of indies and unfortunately they heavily tied up to their patreon/sub/kofi incomes too unlike japanese companies who make 18+ games.
