itch.io

Everything is fucked, there's nothing anyone can do, all the pressure on mastercard hasn't done shit, itch abandoned us the second we got inconvenient, nobody is fighting for us, nobody cares, and nothing good will ever happen again. 

Was nice while it lasted.

Honestly I think itch just wants to do an IPO or something and this provided a really convenient excuse to start purging adult shit. If itch actually were doing anything proactive, they'd say something instead of being completely radio silent. 

Imagine if itch.io actually cared

Given how completely radio silent they've been I'm pretty sure they were just lying about seeking other payment processors.

Oh, look, turns out a payment processor reached out to itch and were rejected outright.

Yeah, fuck itch.io

told you they were fucking liars and couldn't be trusted

oh look, more evidence that itch.io has been plenty aware of this possibility for years and never did a single thing about it 
I can't believe I was ever stupid enough to believe them when they pretended to care about indie developers.

Jesus when everything is just laid out like it is on this site it feels genuinely hopeless.

There really is nothing good to look forward to in the world anymore

I'm pretty sure they were lying about seeking alternatives, honestly. 
I will eat my hat if they actually prove me wrong.

Itch talked a big game about being pro-adult work for a long while, but caved the second they got a tiny bit of pressure
Everyone else is comfortable with this because they aren't the ones being thrown under the bus. 

Itch isn't your friend and neither are the "SFW" authors who are fine with continuing to give Itch a cut of their funds. Don't ever forget that you are expendable to them.
