I think it’s important to remember itch is a platform where they give the option to devs to give itch as low as a 0% cut of revenue. This isn’t greed. This is payment processors trying to decimate the livelihoods of artists. There’s no alternative to itch if it goes under.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning
