Does Itch.io have any plans for supporting adult games and their developers in the future?

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about NSFW titles and the future of “gaming censorship” following some rather aggressive decision making by payment processors (which may or may not be because of a certain “”“collective””” group) that seems to have forced both Steam and Itch to take action against not only adult games, but also what I would describe as a “metric f**k ton” of other titles on their sites.

My research on this topic is showing a lot of conflicting and/or unconfirmed information, so I wanted to ask directly: Any Itch.io moderators/staff/insiders, does Itch have any future plans to support adult content after the situation calms down?

(!!)Most importantly(!!), those in the USA should consider contacting their Congressmen (phone or email) and tell them you want to support these bills:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/401

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/987

I would urge them to support it, and even urge them to strengthen the wording of it to put more restrictions on credit card companies, not just banks. ( How to find your congressman[www.congress.gov] )

Then, I think those in the USA should contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and file a complaint. Doing this next is good, as its the most consumer focused:

https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

Phone: 1-855-411-2372

Mail: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552

Following that, submit a detailed complaint detailing the issues to the DOJ’s Antitrust Division or FTC:

Department of Justice – Antitrust Division

You can use an AI to help you draft letters easily (Microsoft Copilot requires no sign-in). I've put physical addresses too because although it represents a big commitment of effort, few things get their message through better than a written letter.

This is not an end-all-be-all list, but I think its a pretty good starting point. I understand a lot of this represents an uncomfy amount of effort, but really, wouldn't it be an insane spectacle if Visa or MasterCard literally got broken up all because they messed with some erogames on Steam? Imagine that going down in history.
