It's been 200 days since the original de-listing. Has any progress been made here? Y'all claimed the original response was pushed due to the sudden time pressure, but nothing has come out since. 

If y'all have no intention of making good on your plan for new payment processors, if the de facto policy of Itch is just "All Porn Under the Table" forever, you should at least make sure the creators on your platform know.  I'm lucky to not be surviving off gamedev, but you're toying with the livelihoods of people who are.

I don't know if these get read, but the alternative is angrily tweeting, which, in my experience, never accomplishes anything.

In all likelihood Itch.io is just stretching this out to avoid the consequences of making a decision.
If they stand with the artists, they lose PayPal and Stripe.
If they admit they're bending over for PayPal and Stripe, they alienate plenty of artists.

By claiming that they're definitely going to find another payment processor one of these days, really, honest, they dodge accountability.

at the very least they could've just given an update at least. the silence is driving me crazy
