Well, unfortunately, until itch bothers to make any kind of clarifications, the risk of losing literally everything I own is not worth keeping the game available for sale. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and game sales helped a bit but not enough to make much of a difference in finances. But it's been a slow trickle for 3 years which adds up to a decent amount of money. Based on what itch have said so far, if my game gets removed, I could be liable to repay that entire whack in one go without even being able to argue my case. I know my game doesn't have the banned content, but when they have 21k games to vet, they're not going to bother looking too closely at each one before banning something off of first impressions.

Them forcing a refund for 3 years of sales would literally bankrupt me, and I suspect a lot of others will be in the same position.

I've been working on this thing for 3 years, I don't want to take the thing down, but if its a choice between letting people download it or being made homeless, then the game is the one getting it until the situation gets clarified. Creators need to put themselves first and not risk their actual lives by crossing their fingers and hoping their game escapes.
