it's probably because this one is where you could pay if you wanted but now it can't be but I do wonder how many scenes are censored this game had some intense parts some scary scenes, some sad or depressing parts, and a little bit of explicit stuff I don't know what this content filter blocks I'm just disappointed not even mad because scenes like that I found interesting even one of the explicit scenes I thought was a bit funny and I don't know if mastercard or visa are at a point where they are willing to let nsfw content be something you can buy so it will probably be a while before those scenes are added back like I said no hate to the creator I just not as interested as before I don't know those are just my thoughts
Technically, a self censor path would allow a full restoration of all monetization options. Though depending on the extent, it could change the story. For example, what if they made a E rated version of Doom: The Dark Ages?
I was thinking of having it nowhere near the download page. The idea is establishing a clear decoopling such that no aspect of new payment processor TOS additions can apply, thus making it so that until the situation is resolved, there will be at least some transaction path open through the platform for one time donations.
Then once itch gets a better understanding of any restrictions thhe payent processor has, or better yet, if the protests work in reversing it all, then they can revert everything to how it was before.
The only thing that changed is the scene where the MC masturbates in the shower thinking about porn on his laptop has him lying in bed thinking about the movies on his laptop instead of porn. Everything else is the exact same. The movies instead of porn scene already existed in the vn since a sfw version has always been developed parallel to the rest of the story.
like I said I didn't know what scenes were hidden and I don't know what scenes will be hidden in the future I always played the nsfw version and that was the scene I thought was a bit funny because of how the mc reacts but part of were my disappointment comes from is how vague all of the policies I have read from Mastercard Visa and PayPal are I'm pretty sure horror things are included and this game has horror elements and I don't know if that stuff can be taken out of the story so it then can be monotized again another thing is it will probably be a long time before this stuff could be added back and new stuff added Mastercard and Visa have both said that they allow legal content while actively blocking stuff so it might be soon but it will probably be months or a year or two before this is reversed
