Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.

Stay safe!

KOSA dropping duty of care is great but this article buries a very important lede:

A bill package will be introduced once the govt reopens that is a collection of multiple bad "child safety" bills, COPPA 2.0, the Sammy Act, and the App Store Accountability Act [age verification]

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥

I simply cannot stress it enough.

You cannot sit this out.

They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised.

Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.
Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

So they can promote an untagged fetish game by Eevee, a key founding pillar of Floraverse, a group that has been proven over and over again to be a legitimate threat to animals and children even after peeps yell at them for it, but NSFW games are punished for being tagged. Fuck them i guess
Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now.

Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains.

Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

Keep calling paypros with us. As recently as this week someone familiar with Mastercard said there's discomfort within the company over the phone calls.

I’m at $150/$800

Im panicking because I spent all my money at his last appointment and he NEEDS this procedure. Please share. Please. He’s my family.
-$500 today at the vet. Unfortunately Carrots teeth have gotten worse. He has an infection so his procedure got moved up. If I don’t have the money *before* they will NOT help him. His surgery is now Oct. 15th. for $800. I already put $100 down.

$100/$800

you shouldn't be doing a blackout to protest a porn ban. if anything you should be posting as much NSFW content as possible.

I remember we tried doing a blackout on tumblr when they announced the porn ban and it didn't do shit. Submit feedback and post more smut.

We pushed hard Stop Killing Games for over a month, and now another threat appears to remove games, but it goes beyond the games industry

Payment processing censorship affects all mature content and its creators, and a few countries can now speak up about it!

I'm gonna use this blatant example of someone purchasing adult goods being banned to springboard and say:

Now, more importantly than ever, if you are an NSFW creator using any payment provider for invoicing, you must be CAUTIOUS to NOT INCLUDE ANY TERMS that would single you out as an NSFW artist.
PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”

The paypros and fake "banks" all seem to be getting pretty vindictive & retaliatory atp. This was inevitable. They want to discourage & demoralize us, but they're only pissing us off.

Let them know how pissed off you are.

This is scary as hell, but for news coverage?

This is a GIFT.

"You can be banned for *buying* Game of Thrones." Send emails to journalists and news sites and communities you're a part of and talk about the dangers here.

People are going to care about this a lot more when it's not just creators.
Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers.

In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it.

Don't stop calling.
Heavy Hearts dev Dammitbird received the following notice from Steam, noting “your app has failed our review because we're unable to support the Early Access model of development for a game with mature themes”

This strikes me as overcompliance and censorious on Steam’s part

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning
