hi,not to be 'that guy' but what will happen to the $10 I paid for the game if itch takes this down considering the shit going on? will I still be able to play the nour route when it comes out?
It's perfectly reasonable to be concerned whether you'll have access to content you paid for or not!
You may wish to contact the developer directly about that concern. I don't think they check the comments section of itch.io very much (understandable as they have like 5/6 games). I haven't seen any official (publicly available) post from them addressing this, but many developers have made backup plans to be able to provide access to game/s for players who have previously paid or a way that everyone can access it freely. I also think it likely at this point in time (fingers crossed) that Throne of Ashes will survive the bans. Have you checked to see if you can download it again?
