Unfortunately I am aware of this issue. I'm in touch with my local tax lawyer and I was advised not to put my games on other storefronts because of different legal basis and payout systems - Steam pays each month, itch.io whenever I ask, which kinda messes up accounting.

But as with everything, things might change, so I might be releasing games on itch.io too, in the future. Or Steam changes their system to comply with German laws (or maybe German laws will change).

Hi, the issue is still there with the law, will you release it on itch.io?

Sadly, things didn't change for the better.

Itch.io requires Adult content to be paid directly, and PayPal, Stripe, and other payment processors do not allow Adult content so I'd risk having account banned. Steam is still the best platform to avoid potential issues on my side.
