Steam and Itch.io removing games, likely targeting some NSFW otome games
Steam and Itch.io removing games, likely targeting some NSFW otome games
Essentially, Steam (check rule 15) and itch.io are getting rid of/delisting content that payment processors don't want to process. (It's mostly adult content.)
This website has more information on what will happen if you own a game that gets delisted, and how to get it back if at all. I would personally recommend downloading it and backing it up somewhere, especially for itch.io which is not listed on the website.
A video with link sources for its information in the description validates this. If you just want to click a link here instead of going to the video, here's one for Steam and one for itch.io.
If you would like to protest this, https://yellat.money/ works for anyone and Americans can take action at https://aclu.com/mastercard.
Please remember rule 5 and tag NSFW content as such. Discussion of NSFW's existence is fine, getting into details should be tagged.
