The far better option would've been to leave them all up while going through them rather then taking them all down before doing so. As is, it prevents people from even seeing updates relating to games that were taken down if they weren't part of their library, so the devs can't even make plans to move development off-site in response to the censorship. On top of that, they also froze the assets of the devs of any adult-only content, so they can't pull any money out of itch, money they might need to pay for the development of their game. It would be far better to allow them all to remain up while going through them. Christ, no wonder so many devs have already made plans that the moment Itch puts their pages back up to begin directing players off-site to avoid Itch being able to pull this again.
