Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material
The problem with pro-censorship activism is that pro-censorship activists will find out where something they want to censor is now hosted and then go after that with the same methods they used for the place it was previously hosted on.
This wasn't about gaming, but explains the methods: https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/02/22/rip-culture-war-thread/
Personally, I think these sites should do a thing with cryptocurrency so that you buy crypto with your card and then use that to buy the games. So that way the payment processor can't get mad at you.
What's stoping a group like Collective Shout from then forcing the payment processors to go after whatever web domain registrar they get their name from? Or, assuming they don't use their own hardware, which is extremely likely, that they go after whoever they go through for hosting their website?
As great of an idea as just switching payment processors is, that won't stop those puritanical pricks because they'll just switch targets and get the whole website/service taken down if it means fulfilling their Satan guided goals being done in the name of Jesus.
