Have people lost access to removed games from this recent NSFW purge?

I have heard all sorts of complaints about losing access to games that may or may not be NSFW (and most definitely removed from the platform). But I have not seen people backing up their complaints with proof. The only proof I found was in a conversation on X/Twitter where the user showed screenshots of download files still accessible from games that were removed from itch due to the ban. https://x.com/letsmaybeLP92/status/1948544883410829370 I can also show another example of a game that is no longer accessible due to dev removing files from the game page. Please let me know if you have encountered such a page for the removed NSFW games. 

Also check https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought if you are worried (but keep in mind it only shows games you actually paid money for)

I wanted to check this too and found that luckily I still have access to all the adult comics/books that I've previously bought. Hopefully will be the same for others.

If you know the link to the page you can access it as far as I can tell. Also anything saved to your collections can be accessed. And, so far, it doesn't seem like most content has been removed yet, just delisted. God willing this mess will be over with soon.

I see that no one has came forward to say that content they owned is gone, just that they can't find it if they forgot the name.

I have a question:

What will happen after USA and Japan inevitably put payment processors in their proper place? Will adult content be available to view and purchase again?

Other sites that host such content are in a hubub but it doesn't sound too optimistic with crypto-tokens as a last grip on the situation, but to my understanding is two major economic countries are already in the moves to getting payment processors in line with a proper legal boundary of what processors can and cannot do.

The current issue with payment processors was caused by the religious right whinging to them about porn. What makes you think the current US government is going to do anything to stop them; especially considering how many states have pushed anti-porn legislation over the last couple years?

I've heard there's a US bill in the works to make payment processors an essential service, meaning that unless it's actually illegal the processors will actually process payments. in all technicallity what visa and mastercard are doing is illegal

Bold of you to assume that bill will pass, when the people with control of US Congress are the same political alignment as the people who pressured Visa and Mastercard.

Especially since one of the stated goals of Project 2025, the current GOP playbook, is the criminalization of porn.
