All NSFW games on Itch are now hidden by default.

[John Doe Jr.]

The biggest problem for me is itch getting rid of it all without warning. Bending the fucking knee to fuck over the people who were still using the site for that purpose. And just because it's against ToS doesn't mean they have to complete dicks about it. A simple "we're enforcing our rules now" would go miles better than the shitshow currently happening.
This shit will just spiral. People bitching against us and siding with this brain-dead decision are gonna be embarrassed when we can't say "peepee" without getting fucking arrested.

Hello, dear sir/madam, we have noticed a concerning amount of profane language in your comment. To protect the morality of society we have now decided to ban your bank account

LOL last fucking person i would trust with money

I predict it'll apply to everything eventually. Total lockdown and control of the internet. Will probably sell your ID info too the way social media companies have already been selling data to advertisers. Then I predict just an outright ban of anything nsfw

we going to have cyberpunk internet just without all the killer AI (maybe)

I feel like if we're going to direct people in a certain direction, then we shouldn't be directing them at Visa/MC - they're not going to change their mind and suddenly re-allow rape and incest. It's a waste of time.
Instead people should be emailing their local politician and asking why a third party company is limiting who you're allowed to spend your hard earned money with.

And folks, that's why you get DRM-free games and store all of them locally (talking about games in general, but applies to R18 too).

Even when buying games on Steam, I encourage people to use free open-source tools like Goldberg Steam Emulator and Steamless to remove Steam authentication requirement and DRM from all games you can, and archive them locally.

Btw, this may even apply to places like f95 at some point.

Maybe, but they'd need to go about it legally since threats about pulling out don't make sense, as F95 already cannot use those payment processors anyway.

I'm still shocked how most businesses in the world still rely on like 2 or 3 online payment processors, no wonder they feel like they can do anything and own the world. How the fuck did people expect this was going to end?

Honestly at this point I don't know how there aren't more payment processors. Like I understand it must be hard and costly, but it's like everyone in the world just accepted those payment processors like they're some kind of natural phenomenon that you just have to deal with.

I guess crypto is a thing, but hard for it to become anything other than a niche shady method for back-handed deals with how its reputation has pummeled over the years because of scams...

its really just depressing... I feel for the devs

"Its basically conservative christian moms calling themselves feminist but touting the patriarchal line fully, just talking in feminist lefty speak. "Progressive" fascism" is the most accurate way ive seen it put

I'm so confused by this. If they talk like leftist feminists, isn't it possible that they are... leftist feminists? This seems to be such a point of contention, but to me it just feels like cope. When a right wing religious group pulls this stuff I'm fine with bashing them, but when a bunch of feminists pull it I'm not comfortable with all the lying to place the blame on a group that is frankly unrelated to the current drama. People talk about fascism, and then are so willing to misrepresent the truth out of an adherence to their political beliefs, and party. It's unnerving.

 

[moohoo]

The CFBP has significant power over the banks which in turn have a lot of power over payment processors. I'm just saying, that power was already consolidated into a non-partisan independent agency. No need to pass a bill that could easily be amended to include/exclude anything

this is just incorrect as this sort of political action actually originates from an Obama era initiative.

It started in 2014 which if you are an old degenerate like me, you'd notice that coincides with patreons first big crackdown.
tl;dr its not partisan, quit trying to make it partisan

THEY GONNA SUFFER FOR TRYING TO STEAL OUR GAMES

"Damn, those Aussie bastards are gonna pay for shutting down my porn!"

 

[Nullx54]

The only thing I wish happen to those all those that would want to censor NSFW games is that whatever hidden yet true intent they have towards us happen to them.

 

[Osirian]

I've created two sets of letter templates you all can use to send to your government representatives, one for US citizens and one for citizens in other countries. I need someone to check over these to make sure everything looks good and professional. When things are finalized, I urge everyone to start sending these out across multiple threads and platforms to spread them. This is incredibly important! The harsh reality is that adult game developers would not have the time or resources to create games without any financial backing. Please look these over and distribute them wherever you can!

Why some people still not realize who's these Collective Shout are ?

They are Karens !
THEY ARE "THE KARENS" !!
THEY ARE THE FUCKING KARENS !!!

They're not doing it because they have religious morality.
They're not doing it because the Feminist agenda for equality.
They're not doing it because Leftist or Right-wing propaganda.

THEY'RE DOING THIS BECAUSE THEIR BORING LIFE !
THEY ARE MISERABLE AND WANT YOU ALSO BECOME MISERABLE !

You will always find their history full of inconsistency, because they have no foundation or loyalty.
Many of them are not looking for money, they already have decent income from their spouse or their real job.

Karen are like this ... you and your friends are hang out in a spot, having great fun time. Then these Karens looks at you, then they come to you. Then start lecturing you're being loud and annoy people, but you're not annoying people and you're in public spaces. Then they start accusing you for illegal gathering, but it's free to do it. Then they start taking your drinks and accusing you being drunk. And more and more, until it's become a real confrontation. Then these Karens will call the Police and start the victimize-mode. Those are Karen's mentality. They're not doing it for some "life purpose". They just hate you for having some FUN !

Any news on the itch situation

 

[Der Maskierte]

I am positive that is a facade. To me, they appear to be transnational political mercenaries. You contact them, agree to do or give something as compensation, and they will come up with some nonsense to help you do whatever you want to do.
Like when they defended the show Cuties.

If you're too nervous to make a phone call like that, an email would still more impactful than change.org (it would probably be spam filtered, in that case it's as effective as change.org).

That would probably be a massive legal problem, considering the right to petition is in the 1st Amendment.

We're both correct. I didn't mean to make that act sound partisan, just pointless. BUT with that said most major legislation is partisan or ends up that way

 

[FHStudios]

The only reason behind Itch hiding all NSFW games is because of their flexible commission. That's literally it. It's now worth the hassle.
Be positive, y'all. This is probably for the better, and a second wind might be coming soon. This is only fuel for the competition.

 

[Danv]

To me, they appear to be transnational political mercenaries.

every single NPO is
industry was doing it for decades, using environmentalists to hit their competition and push their own agenda, now it's CC's turn
