I'm pretty sure this is lawsuit-worthy - at least for non-US users.

itch's mistake is the way they handled all of this. But the whole fiasco is payment processors and Collective Shout' fault and they should get most of the blame.

Unfortunately, the all-powerful Steam also caved... That's going to be a tough battle.
Short term solution? Publish games on other platforms that are more friendly towards adult-themed games (easiest, but many of those platforms stinks) or self-host them and sell them yourself (difficult and expensive for most, requires legal advice).

Regardless, things like that make me worried for the future of most indie games, including my own. Damn fundies.

This is a targeted campaign made by certain groups that have ties with fundie groups. They lobbied with credit processors to push this kind of censorship.

But... regardless, the way storefronts are reacting to this is horrible - Itch more so. Even if my WIP and future games don't have explicit adult content, I will reconsider where to publish them. It's not safe.
