Itch.io just banned lgbt content at the reauest of payment providers. It is now, short of finding them and handing them food, impossible to pay the last group of artists i was giving money to, because the mechanisms of payment have decided they cannot be paid.
But I still want the stuff they’ve made, their back catalogues, etc.
They mention deindexing from browse and search. I understand this to mean you can still visit and buy the products, and list the publisher’s titles on their publisher’s page.
That’s far from “banning”. And doesn’t prevent the supporting creators and browsing their catalog - the use-case OP described.
