I didn’t choose shit. Stripe (the online processor that lets you use credit or debit cards on websites) has forbid Itch from using its services on NSFW games. Even if I try to turn it on, it doesn’t show up. I haven’t heard about Steam having that issue, and I hope to have it on Steam in January.

I've purchased quite a few games through Itch by now, and through Steam too, but this is the first one that requires me to go through PayPal, which declines my transaction. I'm not blaming you, sorry if it sounded like that, but as you can tell, I'm simply unable to pay you, even after trying so many times, as I really do want to pay for this...
The Stripe restriction came a couple months ago. Either itch had to cave to its demands, or effectively get shut down entirely. NSFW works are literally under attack by pearl clutchers from all sides right now. It sucks, big time. I fear offering an alternate route through patreon or such because there’s been stories of accounts getting locked.
Steam should have no such restrictions though. Or at least, if they continue to hold out. They’re a much bigger company than itch. I am happy you’re excited about the game. Feel free to Wishlist, so you’re notified when it’s there!
(I’d be offering it as Early Access on Steam, but… they’ve had to modify their policies too. No Early Access for NSFW works. Sucks)
