"They would just be screaming in the air,' What a joke. Regardless of them having no real choice but to comply they could still stand with affected creators in solidarity and make a public stance denouncing censorship. That would at least show that they care about any of this. But they couldn't even be bothered to do that much. At the end of the day itch is a corporate entity, they don't get to play the woeful victim card. They are responsible for how they've handled this situation and they are going to continue to get dragged for it for a damn long time. Regardless of how preciously you wish to defend them it does not change that.
I don't care about sentiment, that's one step from virtue signaling. If they did that people would just be mad that they are saying they denounce censorship but then do things that censor content. Screaming into the air absolutely, only actions matter my point was to take action against the perpetrator and not be focused on itch specially or steam specifically. If you think I'm defending itch you seriously misunderstand, I'm hoping to direct the blame were it actually belongs Visa and MasterCard. They don't even need to pit users vs storefronts, the users are getting mad while Visa and MasterCard use their monopoly to dictate what content a platform is allowed to show. I'm against misplacing blame, whether it's steam, itch, epic. The same think happened with people blaming epic for fortnite removal were the real problem was the ridiculous fees and monopoly of play store and app store.
