im sorry youre going through this, it sounds insanely stressful having your work threatened like this by this platform. im just so confused why itch would do this with barely any warning and virtually no reason given. i hope your work continues to reach others and that you stay supported by your community. its not fair to just shut off independent developers' work like this. stay safe, and continue doing what you love, despite the setbacks unfairly thrown your way!

The reason is simple: itch.io is doing this because they care more about money than about game developers. They’d rather keep a few banks happy—banks that would otherwise restrict payment options for players—than support the very developers who create the games those players are paying for. itch.io is an absolute disgrace. Thank you so much for your words — I’ll do what I can.

If the whole site got demonetized, and had to shut down because they can’t cover hosting costs, we would be in a worse position. At least now we have some time to fight it.

this sucks, it just feels so hollow and weird, i cant think of anything to really describe how gross this feels on itch's end. keep doing what ur doing, youve got all our support! <3

Thank you so much for your words. I'm still working hard, but honestly, the desperation is overwhelming.

also pls make sure to take care of urself. drink some water and eat something if u can. u deserve to decompress after such a stressful time. you work so hard and it shows in the quality of your work!
