What squirtlel said. As of right now a few internet people who play games for adults/“perverts” do not have the power to do anything other than watch their favorite game devs struggle to make a living somehow.
I would also make the wild claim that the average itch.io-user (just like the average “gamer”) has little to no awareness of the important things that are going on in the world around them until and unless actively informed by a well-worded individual in a visible position who can convey what happened and why this is a bad omen for consumers.
Case in point: I heard about this on Newgrounds before I had a look at the itch.io-forums. ( I have a backlog of hundreds of video games. What do you want from me…? :/ )
