If you checked the news, itch.io removed any porn game because visa and mastercard are grifters
ya. sorry you missed the boat on the itch deal which was a steal. Here's some random considerations to help ease the 'ouch':
- Waifu Dreams Studio is an amazing developer. They consistently released weekly builds since the 2023Q3. And are actively engaged with the community here, not just Patreon
- Their Patreon is the most affordable of all AO games out there. It's just $2 US a month. That is a no brainer if you can use Patreon.
- If you cannot do patreon, no problem. It only costs you patience. The previous patreon is pushed to paid Itch users, and the previous paid itch release is pushed to free downloads on Itch. It appears most of the more fair developers use this model.
- I'm confident that Itch will reverse course at some point. And if not, then another store or two will surface.
Remember, there has
always been an ebb and flow of PROHIBITION by a bunch of squeaky wheels over time. This will pass is due time.
And just like Prohibitions, it rallys folks creating a surge and backlash to those efforts.
In the meantime, we have to: be patient, fight back, show solidarity, etc.
Those prudes are wrong. They retard progress, awareness, freedoms, healthy growth (i.e. change), and more. They will lose - if not to what's "right" but to "chaos over time" as entropy is natural force of nature.
This is their 'token' temporary win before they are crushed by the "wheel of fate" yet again. They never learn.
