Over the past couple of days, you may have noticed that games on steam and itch.io have been removed/delisted, this is due to an avtivist group pressuring payment processor companies (VISA, Mastercard, PayPal) to stop allowing payments to certain games that they deem offensive. This mostly affects games that, like SI, include sexual content. This is a massive issue, not only for developers like us, but for the games industry as a whole, who knows what certain people may find "offensive" in games. This does not just pose an issue for games either, as a ban like this could lead to films, TV shows, music or even books getting banned for having "offensive" content in.
As for what we're going to do about the itch.io page? The page is still there, so any links to the game will still work, but it will no longer show up if you search for it on itch. Hopefully we can continue using itch, if not, I'm sure other sites will pop up and be used in a similar manner.
Below is a change.org petition to attempt to stop these activist groups telling us what people can/cannot purchase with their own money. If you care about games or any content at all, please sign this petition and support devs and movements that are attempting to stop this.
