Reindexing adult NSFW content - Developer Updates
Today, we are re-indexing free adult NSFW content . We are still in ongoing discussions with payment processors and will be re-introducing paid content slowly to ensure we can confidently support the
itch.io (itch.io)
I'll just copy and paste what I wrote elsewhere
I have to say since this whole anti porn in games thing has happened, I've ironically exposed myself to more porn games.
Before I wouldn't imagine playing porn games. Ever since the itch unban, I've tried a few games on itch.io to see what the fuss was about and got absolutely hooked on Queens Brothel - to the point where I've paid for the full version on Patreon.
If the Christian brothers and sisters at Collective Shout wanted less people exposed to porn games, lol. lmao even.

So if the problem is payment, what stops a company from selling "tokens" and those tokens can be redeemed for "anything"?
That way the visa / mastercard assholes can suck a cock, no?
Add some massive unregulated grifting and hideous environmental consequences to your idea, and you've just invented Bitcoin.

The whole crypto scene seems like a scheme at the moment... But then you see the bullshit visa / mastercard are pulling and you see the need for a digital currency.
Any corporation with near monopoly power will ALWAYS fuck up the consumer.

It would likely be the same in the eyes of the payment processor. It technically is the same thing, except you must "top up" your account with money first before buying a game, instead of buying it directly.

Crypto, in my view is more conceded with libertarianism than actually helping anyone. I read the grievances as capitalism not providing enough opportunity to be the boot.
Even still crypo is centralized as that is how most people interact with it. The speculative nature also makes it a bad currency.

If they make it free but adapt some content lock for further progress, which you can get by donating to dev? It would not be too bad, be better for the dev as no cut is taken by itch
So... Who processes the donation?

Any ethical website that is already a donation handler for content creators?

I had no clue these games even existed until this whole thing. Now I've seen far more porn games than I ever expected to be a thing.

The problem is the payment processor. There's only so many of them that customers actually choose to use.

That's exactly what DLsite has done when MasterCard and Visa banned them. Granted, they're Japanese so most fo their sales use Japanese methods like JCB, PayPay, etc. I'm not sure if this would kill services that didn't have such a large domestic audience.
