I can't control the decisions that itch.io makes. They have chosen that they no longer wish to be in business with me. I had no say in this decision, and I have no recourse. They won't even allow me to make it right somehow. Believe me, I'm upset about it too. itch.io was half my income. 

There are no platforms willing to carry A Petal Among Thorns and A Moment of Bliss other than Patreon and SubscribeStar, and I have links on Discord. I'm sorry, but those are the only platforms right now willing to allow my content.

Can't you explain in a paragraph how the hell I post a message in Discord and how I can log in when it asks to create a new account but then says I have already used my email! Why can't DIscord be like every other site and say "Log in" or Create an Account"?!

I can see, at this rate, either you find a link for Itch purchasers to download updates, or just expect much more piracy, as that will be the only option, and I am sure it's available!

Funny how another developer, of another AVN found another way I could download - google drive! As to Discord, first time ever I get a text from discord to put in a code, and Discord says it's been used by a new customer - what the hell does that mean?! First time the code hasn't been accepted!

Discord is a pain in the backside.  Its sign-in experience can only be described as smashing your privates with a hammer.  Often, you'll end up with multiple identities, one with an email, one with just a username, and only one of them actually works to sign you in, and possibly zero, because you may need the password from one of the username identities with the email address from the other one.  :-(

If worst comes to worst, create a new Discord account with a different email address.

The code failure might be because you haven't verified your Discord account with a phone number (according to somebody who posted down below).  Worth a try.

Another dev asked for a copy of proof of purchase, then gave me a Google link to download the game, so some devs care, some don't.

Damm that Sucks. Looks like i need to do more Prunning on my Patron List so i can Put you on there!

I can get you setup to be able to download all my works if you join my Discord. I know it's a hassle, but I'm running out of platforms to stand on unfortunately.

Hey Your the Good guy here. Itch is the Asshat in this Matter.so far i use Itch only to keep updated on the games i have. Not getting any more from them unless i have to!!!

Have you looked into Steam?

I'm going to try to get The Judas Ghost on Steam. Avalon is already on Steam. The Rose Garden trilogy isn't allowed on Steam.

I really do not understand why Steam won't allow your trilogy. I bought Sisterly Lust, Dreams of Desire, Picture Perfect, Summer With Mia...etc., all on Steam. ALL of them  are INCEST games, unpatched. I don't remember anything in your games that is any worse than what is in those others. I kind of hate it, because it makes it difficult to buy your games. I am kind of like some of the other people here, and HATE Discord, mainly because it seems overly complicated, causing me to have to spend more time on it than I like.  I would like very much to know how to purchase your stories.  Thank you.

P.S.  Ah, I found what you already said further down. Maybe there is a way to send you money through PayPal, or something?

It's all pretty complicated right now. You're welcome to subscribe to my Patreon if you'd like. All supporters get all my works for donating. Other than that, I just don't have a platform to put my work on right now. Sorry, Sparklin. 

That is the other problem. Patreon and I, as well as several others that I know of, have issues. I removed myself from their site as a customer and producer. I write short stories. I found out that several people besides myself had issues with them. Simple things that done multiple times, such as double and triple charging, that you have to go through hoops to fix with them. And their customer service is far from easy. Every time that I have had to deal with them, they acted arrogant about the situations. Things eventually got settled, but not until I had to jump through their hoops and talk to multiple persons to find the right one that could fix the issues.
