Another question, did you also get a change of policy from itch.io that paid options for adult games aren't allowed anymore? Because if not, someone is using it either for baiting, or is simply playing a cry wolf.

Hello.

I did receive the same treatment. Until a few days ago, payment and taxes were handled and collected by Itch. This is no more the case as Itch now forces adult game creators to either stop selling their games or handle the payment and taxes thing themselves, without really providing us adequate tools to do so.

It's a "we don't ban you because it would be bad for our image, but we don't want you here anymore so... here is the door" situation.

Sorry to hear. I hoped it was a ruse. I know that a platform as itch can help sell, especially if people don't feel they can afford a continuous fee for Patreon or other. I guess it would be better to have  a solid position on Steam for instance (as Epic unlikely will allow adult content of many types, except guns and violence).

Itch is (was) about 25 % of my revenue. The situation isn't dire but it sure is difficult. I'm currently trying the "Handle the payment yourself" solution but I'm not very optimistic.

Steam certainly is a goal I'm aiming for.
