In episode 2 where you try to sneak around as Takina. I feel like the couch is not covering you the way it's supposed to because I keep getting spotted by the drunk guard even when her body is fully covered from his line of sight.
Edit: Made it past that part. It seems during the blow job mini game, the A button is bugged. I press it, and it registers it as wrong.
What would you've done if you were in charge of itch.io? Take it to court?
I'm sure they would have very little chance of winning if that were the case.
If Valve, the one with the resources to put up a fight against it, is unwilling to do it, I don't think any other store page will. It's a lose-lose situation no matter how you look at it unless the law changes.
It's not like they have a real choice; they can either stay with the gamers and lose all possible income (and inevitably go bankrupt), or be forced to play by the rules.
However, placing the entire blame on itch.io is not right either; if someone is to blame, it's the payment companies and conservative groups.
As for what we are supposed to do, not much other than to complain about it.

Not that I want to get into an argument, but what were they supposed to do?
Tell the credit card companies to fuck themselves and lose any means of getting any form of payment and go bankrupt because of it?
Steam itself caved in last week and removed many adult games; itch.io has way less standing than Valve, which has millions of dollars in its pockets.
Something odd that I noticed is, for whatever reason, when you're wearing the latex leotard you cannot equip any hand items like steel knuckles, boxing gloves, maid gloves, etc. And vice versa, if you have any of the hands items equipped you cannot equip the leotard.
Is this intentional or an oversight?
