Hi Itch.io staff,

Has Itch.io started planning contingencies for the potential loss (or overpriced retention) of "itch.io".

If you are not aware of this article The Disappearance of an Internet Domain , you should read it. Even PaperMC is making alternate plans.( How will the removal of .io websites impact PaperMC? | PaperMC )

The tl;dr is the British gov't is giving its sovereignty of the Indian Ocean atols (Chagos Islands) to the country of Mauritius. Given the *.io suffix is changing IANA "ownership", you know some poor country is going to try to make bank on that new treasure - the popularity of *.io with high-tech & crypto and such - who make so much more than their annual gross domestic revenues.

Unless of course, Itch.io wants to let this be an excuse to let itself fade into history which I hope not considering all the crappy news of late.  (Oh, and we all loose our purchases.)
