I haven’t been here with a creator account for long and don’t know what was normal in the past, but as for recent activity…? In the past several weeks, I’ve seen people reject Itch.io entirely because of the mass deindexing, miscommunication, and paymemt delays.

Maybe that shift away is happening on a bigger scale. If it is, it wouldn’t be noticeable in conversation in these forums; the people who bounced wouldn’t be here.

I’ll add: waning interest in Itch.io wouldn’t be surprising. Every act of censorship tends to have a chilling effect long-term.

Yeah, to be honest, even if i joined something like 5 years ago i actually started to actually navigate itch few months ago, for my latest game, so i don't really know how it was before... few time later the breaking news.

I guess that Collective Shout and the actual culprit are laughing at us, since no matter the consumer's reaction, in any case it's a win-win for them...

After all what they want is erasing all we players built and shared among us: what better way to do that than nuking the places in which we gathered and, as a plus, see their victims reacting by scattering elsewhere, instead of gathering even more than before and fight back?
