My Livelihood at Risk! (IMPORTANT)

El bien más preciado
es la libertad
hay que defenderla
con fe y valor.
We shall overcome!

Pretty big, and unfortunately quite bad, news:
Today I woke up to the abrupt notice that Itch.io - the site I use to host and sell my games - has deindexed all adult games pending a massive audit of every single one. They claim ( https://itch.io/updates/update-on-nsfw-content ) to be doing this due to pressure from some third party group that does not like Steam and Itch.io hosting these games. They did this without warning, seemingly as a hasty response to this other group. As stated in their announcement until they finish all games will remain delisted, and those that violate the new nebulous rules will face being removed or demonetized.
This negatively impacts me and several other content creators. For the past year or so I've seen commission income dwindle and have therefore leaned more on Subscribestar and the income from my games. This income has been rather instrumental in ensuring I can afford life expenses, afford nice things sparingly, and generally live life. For it to be suddenly cut like this is extremely bad for me, and for now all I can really do is wait and see what the final verdict is on my games and future projects.
In the meantime, I am left without a source of money that I heavily relied on. For those that have enjoyed my content, know that I still have a Subscribestar ( https://subscribestar.adult/lapsa ) where you can donate and gain access to all my current games. I am not sure how things will go in the future - but hopefully this passes without a lasting negative impact. I appreciate those who have supported me and enjoyed my games enough to purchase them, I am hoping that I can continue to provide quality content for people to enjoy!
Thank you for taking the time to read, and for any support you can offer. If you can, spreading the word would help a lot - I am also not the only one impacted by this! With enough of an outcry and support we can support those at risk and perhaps try to find some better outcome to this situation.
Also the ACLU, while not explicitly mentioning this incident, has been trying to fight against this trend: https://action.aclu.org/petition/ma.....-unjust-policy
I have a discord server for my games as well, for those that were interested that didn't join prior and now can't access the itch page: https://discord.gg/rCK6gxs724

This attack on NSFW content is terrible. Hopefully you can get something figured out. Hoping for the best for you, and others too.
