Removing games from the shop AND our libraries?

Many of us legally purchased games on your website that now retroactively get removed. De-listing and removing the games from the shop is one thing, but removing them from our libraries as well?

And I'm not even mad about the money, I care about the intentions. Throwing the entire adult branch of this website under the bus, and even punishing the people who essentially gave Itch money when they purchased those games? Sacrificing a part of your website "for the greater good" sounds all fine and dandy since we are just talking about adult entertainment, but let's look at it without the prudish lens: you are telling those developers and customers "You aren't worth getting in trouble for". And I don't know... that just feels terrible.

I understand that there are no winners here, and the majority of the blame lies with the payment processors and the activists pushing this, but I cannot stop feeling like there was a better way to do this. 


Edit: Appearently there is an extra tab in the Library that contains everything, I apologize for not noticing. It is still weird however that the main My Library page slowly lost most of these games over the past three days, since it previously contained all of them always.

My general sentiment hasn't changed but I'm glad to see nothing was removed even if it seemed that way at first glance.

Can you please share more about what products are missing in your library? We didn’t disable access to purchases or download keys as part of the ongoing adult content review process. If you aren’t comfortable sharing that information publicly here then you can submit a support ticket. Please reply to me with a support ticket ID so I get notified and I can check.

Thanks

I'm sorry, there is an extra tab that I never noticed which contains all of them. I edited the post to reflect that, though I don't want to delete since my general sentiment about the NSFW situation is the same.

Perhaps, to prevent more people getting confused, find out why the main My Library page is not reflecting all owned games anymore? 

Thank you though for the answer and I hope a better solution to this situation can be found soon.
