Patreon needs to go with their arbitrary handling and itch seriously needs to reevaluate their reporting and banning system. (And subscribestar needs to polish their interface to take down patreon ;-)

Patreon and itch want to have that adult cake and eat it too, but they do not support devs against malicous attacks like what happened here. Mofu has over 10k followers. One would think that a competent human dealt with the allegations, but apparantly not. Imagine what smallers devs have to face. Or are we to believe that all the followers and other players played illegal content all this time without reporting it?! 

That we are talking about pixel art smut makes it even worse. It is pixels. To me this is a combination of virtue signalling and not wanting to deal with complaints by using automation. So, don't, but do not make it possible to auto-ban devs, because there more than enough harrassers and trolls out there targeting devs.

Oh and if it was not clear, the itch page is back. But mofu consideres leaving.

I for one are here because of the adult games, as I do not want to do that on steam or look on any shady sites. I migrated from nutaku, they only have finished games and not that many. I actually only knew about itch's existence because of adult games (one game was available on both platforms). The non adult games I played are a byproduct, while I am here, there are some nice once, of course. If you go to browse and sort by top sellers while having adult games active, there are 36 games on page 1. Only 9 of them are not adult...

In my opinion Steam has the worst hentai games and on top of that you have to pay for them as well

lol. But they do have them and they do get paid. Itch should jump on that and steal those customers away. As you pointed out, there are good hentai games on itch and many bad ones on steam (not that itch would not have those bad games as well ;-) And as I can testify, itch is not very well known.

If you look at some adult games, many of them here are trying to get to steam or are already there. It is a big market and publishing on itch only gives a trickle of exposure in comparison. Of course they might still publish a "public" version or pay what you want version and only sell the privilege of having the higher version number of the game a month early.
