I fully agree that this would actually help organize things here. If a game is marked NSFW but still has donations enabled, it kinda blurs the line between free content and monetized content. Disabling donations on those pages for a while could make it easier to separate them and speed up re-indexing. It’s not perfect by a long shot, but it would probably make the rules clearer and reduce some of the confusion we’re dealing with.
Total Freedom for all the Free Games!
Pay what you want with minimum of 0 is not the same as a free game. There is no blurred line. It is monetized content, there is no discussion about that. It's the suggested payment method for games on Itch. It's even advertised as working better in many cases than a paid only game.
The underlying issue here with the indexing is not of a technical nature, and they need to come up with a solution sooner or later. Disabling payments on pwyw games is not a solution.
Also, payment on a 0 cost project does have some consequences. It is not a donation. You own the project in your library, even if the minimum price is increased later.
