I think you are not aware, this topic was discussed several months ago, the posts must be buried in the forum and unfortunately I do not have the links.

But in short, what is happening to you has happened to many other NSFW game developers.

The admin said that there is no change in itch's policies and that this only affected a number of games that put itch at risk. (I don't remember the exact words) and there is not much more official information.

All the rest is just speculation on the part of users, some believe it is because of the percentage that those games deliver to itch, others because they violate paypal rules, etc.

The problem is there is no clear pattern, there are games that share 10% with itch (the default value) and have been affected.

There are games with vanilla content that have been affected, while others with much more controversial content have not.

The facts are that NSFW games have been receiving that message and so far I have never heard of anyone who managed to reverse the measure, this suggests that it is not an error, but that there is something that led to making that decision, but that officially It has never been clarified.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure what to do at this point. But, seeing all the adult games on the site still with  way more controversial content than my games still up and good is just BOGAS.  

THEY COULD EASILY FIX THIS MESS WITH 3 STEPS.

Take notes any mods or people working on the inside and report this to bossman.

1. They need to make minimum revenue sharing. You guys need to make money if your selling and promoting peoples games.

2. Have a actual full rule by rule  guidline of this is allowed and this isnt allowed. 

3. Hire a actual support team the new income from revenue sharing.


- If you guy cant even respond to a email from Devs that have been working with you for years and can't offer any type of resolution or support to the devs that makes your site acutally work.  

- I've followed all the guildlines in TOS and my account get delisted.

This. I would not even know that itch exists at all, if not for adult games. And I did buy games here that are on steam.

I first saw itch like 2-3 years ago via a direct link from an adult creator. I was not sure what this site was supposed to be and did not bother much, as I was not sure how legit the page was, that had the link to here. It could have been an impostor. And this year, I tried buying a game on an adult platform and wondered, if the game was available on other platforms as well and wanted to compare pricing. So I saw itch again and decided to check it out, as it seemed to be legit after all.
