Bro, that’s exactly what I said — Itch.io just wiped everything out completely, because up until now, that kind of content was barely moderated.
Now fixing the situation has become way harder. It was easier for them to just hide everything from search and start mass purging.
But couldn’t Itch have at least warned all the devs that someone had stepped on their balls?
They could have.
Then hundreds of devs would’ve fixed things on their own. After that, cleaning up the leftovers would’ve been way easier.
But now we’re left waiting for who-knows-what.
