The problem is not the plataform, is the paymeant processors, Ocean with his own plataform would fall in the same problem and just expand his headache. As long as Visa and Mastercard and Paypal keep crack down on IC devs will stay away from it.
I don’t want to go fully off-topic, so this will be my last reply. If i remember correctly Ocean blamed the issue on having to pay taxes in every country he sells in. Personally, I think he’s mainly afraid of Uncle Sam and the IRS
Yeah the payment processors are getting out of hand. Unless a competitor arises that does not censor content it'll only change if we get a law that says they can't decline transactions unless they have proof that it involves a crime. They haven't annoyed anyone with enough money to fight them yet though. Nobody wants their bank to be the morality police. I like this thing that is not illegal and I want to buy it so mind your own business. I don't care if you don't like it.
That's fair. But like I said (at the moment and for quite some time now) SS seems like a safe-haven for most game devs no matter the spiciness. Also I think targeting a single personal website seems much less likely than targeting a big platform. I'm no game dev though.
Yeah guess that could be a problem. No idea how that works. Maybe he could make them "donations" instead of "purchases"? No clue.
