Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material | RPS

This group in particular (Collective Shout) is Australian, and they're anti-gun, it's just not a key part of their advocacy. They have claimed that GTA is responsible for mass shootings.

Unless they make that completely seamless behind the scenes, I can't see that working. Most people don't use crypto and don't want to learn how. It also requires users to sign up for a crypto exchange, which requires people to register with a photo ID. Additionally, it is difficult to exchange exactly the amount you need to purchase something, because of how volatile the currencies are. You end up spending more than the cost of the thing you are buying, just to be sure that you have enough. And then you're in the digital currency problem of "I want the $3 skin but the smallest package I can buy is $5 worth of V Bucks", which always feels like a ripoff.

I've seen this a lot, and there are problems with it. People are not going to want to go through setting up a crypto wallet just to buy a game. People are not going to be happy with Itch.io doing it transparently behind the scenes (who knows where they are sending it to). Creators are not going to be happy with having to pay higher transaction fees. And all this would apply to all games sold on Itch, not just the spicy ones, since Mastercard and Visa would absolutely block them if they tried it.

Why not just use something like Wero (or a hypothetical global equivalent) and use direct bank to bank transfers with no payment processor acting as an intermediary?
