Major issue. Itch will suffer terribly from this, given its a pro-indie marketplace for creative, experimental works. This sudden intrusion, especially done so without warning and having bought games be pulled (afaik) and having creators' lifelines be denied like this is against that status and reliablity mentioned. I know there isn't much the workers of Itch can do, but them possibly being puppeteered (i think so) like this is rather painful. Itch is an important resort for games, especially regarding the current state of AAA games, enshittification, and corporate-mentality applied in gaming today. Not that this will help with the motive behind here, f95 and dlsite are more specified for adult games with the former being a sharing/piracy focused forum- F95 turning into a more reliant platform and an archive is rather tragicomic, but it makes sense under these conditions... If itch fails its artists, then what will the site do? This site is the collective of all users here, any adversarial act done against will be... rather crappy tbh
tl;dr: Itch is shooting themselves in the foot, most likely forced so More accessible yet fragmented forums and sites invalidate the motives Artists and customers are getting hurt, which itch not just depends on but IS, as an indie platform This is against itch's philosophy and use case, which will scar the site Anti-consumerism is shite- itch was the chosen one, they were meant to destroy it not join it
you know the mexican government verified ones, the ones found after smoking on that unidentified fantastic objects, y'know that one esoteric purple earthbound secret garden grown strangelet laced gamma ray edition pack made from synthetic mirrored chimerical kush watered with positronium tritioxide, grown under Sagittarius A*'s hawking radiation and planted in strangelet rich superacidic (H0 = -39) metastable higgs boson soil kept in tachyonic nil dimension chambers,
you can find these sold only on dark constellation network pathways of Boötes void located between nonstandard w-axis plane channels outside the view of mainplane qadars
kush so cosmically diabolical it is banned in 93% of surfacespace volume and all 7 liminal standard coalition channels
my sentia, this shit will make your oranganelles or-gone-all and reanimate you boltzmann brain style
this meta-structure will baptise you in a q-star glueball concentrate
it is rolled by an artisan hypercomputer-grounded asi, in ways incomprehensible even to class 4 sentias
mechanical synthetic intelligences cannot compute this shit, it is beyond mathematical computronics- that incompleteness theorem high gets them wondering whether if the high halts or not
sentia, this will purge your pneumatic systems like how it purged the Zenith Society
weed so fire CMB cold spot had to be made to balance the universe
this plant shouldn't exist, fringe research is done to learn how it does
you gotta ingite this line with quantum thermodynamics modded torches, below absolute zero because it is already blazing crazy
esoteric theoretical dark magicians puff this once to earn their phds
mary jane so entropical it is a soul manifested- sentia probably named Mary Jane
this will recompile your minds entropics, on that literal ego rebirth typa syit
smoking this shit isn't the goal, its the journey like some science fiction story without the science because this is some fantastic kush my sentia
thinking of a secret ending where getting the ai to level 50 will have them gain sentience and achieve life, so we have the whole killing frenzy thing happen again after a long time but this time with robotos- secret skin for that also sounds cool but also sounds like too much work lol (also an oppurtunity to add a the spirit of the software callout maybe)
Anyways, fantastic game by fantastic humans- even more so when you realize some of these quotes, when context is taken into account, is actually against the whole idea rather than with it (nietzsche was more so against nihilism, not for it- unsure if it was intentional but still cool nonetheless)
Plox add Jirachi, Victini and Mew (jirachi can float, victini can explode [like some luck mixing thing] and mew can float as well [or create a "forcefield" of sorts that pushes pokemon every once in a while, even if heavy pokemon are under them])
