So basically going directly to Steam (or Itch even though it's a pain) would be the only way to do it without creators being branded as "sex workers?"The Buymeacoffee option is viable but will bring in maybe 10% of subs level cash. There is really no 'honor' amongst pirates. People who sub are usually people with raging hardons and a fetish who can't wait for self gratification. Itch at the moment is ID free but takes ages to payout and have to fill out US tax forms like W-BEN and W8 if I'm not mistaken on the forms.
Steam requires ID for payouts and also all receipts for ANY asset, be it Daz, audio or other, have to be produced to even be considered for publication. It really makes devs go through hoops but the money on Steam is the best, that's why most successful devs move to Steam asap.
It's the conservative agenda of most US states that is pushing platforms to punish 'sex' and to discourage any creative impulse in that area. That has a rebound effect on the rest of the world. It's a pity China is just as repressed, if not more, otherwise there would have been an alternative. European companies just tread the US line because they fear losing US business opportunities. So let's enjoy our rapidly declining liberties for the moment, one day f95zone might need a Tor browser and access via the dark net.
What about Renderotica? I see people can sell comics, novels, and games on there.
