Delisted from search results.


You've probably read it by now, but just in case you haven't, itch.io just delisted all adult games from search results. This means nearly all traffic for my games is gone. There have been people whose titles have been deleted altogether as well. Thankfully, this hasn't happened to my titles (not yet at least).

So, Futaboros is not ready for Steam, neither is there another storefront where I have as big of a presence. My original plan was to enter early access once Act 3 was ready and to make the game available for free to all SLOOTER owners. I'll still honour that, but if itch doesn't reverse this decision, then it's no longer a viable platform for me.

I'll be considering my options in the meantime. Thank you for reading.

EDIT: It's confirmed to be the same issue Steam had with payment processors. All adult content will be audited to ensure it complies with new standards. I am not sure if Futaboros will survive this, but we will see.

Oh, wow. I had no idea this was happening. Ty for telling me. I just looked at my list of favorites, and a few of them are suspended. This was the main site I looked for adult themed games. Idk where I'm going to go now.

It's kinda a funny they did this. They have Game Jams specifically built around various adult themes

They don't really have a choice if MasterCard and Visa are swinging their dicks around. It's been stated that the delisting is a temporary measure to ensure compliance too. However, I doubt that it'll just stop at incest. These guidelines can be arbitrarily updated according to the whims of payment processors.

Ok. I just read over itch.io post, and the letter from Collective Shout they reference about their decision. Makes a lot more sense now. I thought it was a target on all Adult games. But it is against Rape, Incest, and Child abuse. Which is good in my opinion, not my tags of choice anyways
